Our client contacted us following an event where she was incorrectly dispensed the wrong medication dosage.
Our client experienced side effects due to this error which were ongoing for several weeks, including severe pain and illness. It was then noted that the prescription was 200mg lower than the typical dosage. As a result of this, our client had to slowly work back to her previous dosage, whereby her symptoms eased off and she was back to her normal self. Due to this dispensing error, our client suffered from weeks of sickness.
Outcome
Our clinical negligence solicitors successfully obtained over £4,000 in compensation for our client.
