On 3/16/08 my husband picked up my prescription refills. One was for Inderal LA 60mg. I took this from Saturday night thru Friday night. On Friday I realised that the capsules were not the correct color, rechecked everything and took the capsule. On Saurday morning I was still confused and took a capsule to another pharmacy for verification. It was in fact Inderal LA but instead of 60mg it was 160mgs. I then went to Eckerd Pharmacy where they gave me 2 months of the correct dosage and informed me that the the individual who had filled my prescriptions was no longer with the company.
There was no economic damage done and the physical damage is questionable at this time.
What is damaged is my faith in the system, I was given a dosage that was over 2.5 time the required dosage, my husband was out of town for 3 days last week leaving me alone. Side effects -overlayed vision,cold to the point of putting socks on in bed, sweaters when up, sleeping less than 4 hours.
The indiviual is no longer employed there and I want to know how many more people have the wrong drug. They do not call the people whose prescription that this individual filled
efilled to check and see if thiers are correct. My imagination is running wild, how many more like me are out there that do not know they have the wrong prescription. I feel there is something very wrong in that store. Before I left with my correct prescription an employee said to me that maybe I should see an attorney!
That will make your hair stand up!
