Checking On A Drug

Updated

I received a drug that was supossed to be for 10 mg. It came in the manufacturer bottle at 100 mg. I got scared so I threw the bottle away. Now I wish I would have call the pharmacy on it. I can get my prescription record from the pharmacy. Is there a way I can prove that I was given the wrong prescription?

What medication was it?

You can try getting the records from the pharmacy, however, you would need both the information on the original prescription and what they dispensed and if they spot the error, they may suddenly become uncooperative.

It's really not going to do much, even if you do this, though. If you didn't take it and suffered no harm, then the pharmacy and person who filled it will just get a warning to be more careful and/or the person who filled it may lose their job.

You will not get any compensation or anything out of it, other than maybe a replacement prescription.


Have you gone back to speak with the pharmacy?

Since you threw it away, you really have no solid proof on your own.

The drug was Amitriptyline. It's odd because I did talk to the pharmasist and he disapeared (really, like they don't know where he is or if he is alive) about 6 months later!
