I picked up medicine for my twelve-year-old son. I did notice the pills were yellow but I thought it was just a new pill with a new coating. So for eleven days my son has been taking this medication and I was cutting his pill last night and noticed a 400 on the pill and then I realized it is the wrong pill altogether. This is an anti-psychotic medicine that he takes which is what makes it even scarier as a mom his mental health depends on this medication. The other bothersome thing is he is a child. So I notified the Doctor that my son had an unknown pill that he was taking for all these days. The label on the bottle is correct but the pill that came with it is not the medicine that is supposed to be in there. The moral of my post please double check your prescriptions before you use them. The pharmacy holds people’s live in those bottles.
I know that as a medical laboratory technician we have repercussions to any errors made from patient draws to the results we put out because we hold patient’s lives in our hands every day. Triple checking in the medical field matters.
