Pharmacists are not simply pill counters. They dispense potent drugs that can cause serious harm if not used correctly. Pharmacists have a duty to patients to double-check and cross-check all prescription medications that go out.
If you or a family member suffered adverse effects from a pharmacy error, the Orlando law firm of Payas, Payas & Payas will pursue compensation for your injuries and losses. We have successfully sued pharmacists and pharmacies throughout Central Florida.

Medications Errors by Central Florida Pharmacists
There is no excuse for prescription drug errors. A well-run pharmacy has protocols and fail-safes to prevent mistakes. Yet pharmacy errors and medication mistakes in hospitals cause thousands of deaths and serious injuries every year.
Our experienced lawyers hold pharmacists and their employers accountable for errors in filling prescriptions or failure to account for contraindications:
- Filling prescriptions with the wrong drug
- Counter mix-ups (another person's prescription)
- Dosage error (i.e., overdose)
- Allergic reaction (known patient allergies)
- Known cross-reactions with other drugs
- Errors or omissions on labels or pharmacist instructions
Pharmacists have a duty to verify any questionable prescription with the doctor, especially certain "high-alert" drugs. Pharmacy technicians and counter clerks are restricted from certain tasks that can only be performed by a licensed pharmacist, yet sometimes that line is blurred.
