Incorrect Dosage
Receiving the wrong dosage of a drug can harm a patient in several ways. If the dose is too low, the patient may not benefit from the effects of the drug. If it is too high, however, the drug can cause severe and even life-threatening consequences. When a prescription is filled by a pharmacist, or a treatment is administered by a doctor or nurse, careful attention must be paid to the dosage.
Cincinnati incorrect dosage lawyer Shawn M.
