I wonder how often this happens…
Glendale Pharmacy in Newport News, VA gave the wrong medication to a patient. Apparently, the patient was supposed to receive Macrobid (a drug for urinary tract infections) and instead received Clozaril – a medicine for schizophrenia!
Yowsers, that has got to be a shock to the system.
The patient who got the Clozaril experienced a loss of consciousness, slurred speech and lethargy and had to take a trip to the ER.
The pharmacy was fined $500, which leads me to believe this might happen more often than not.
