What Are Hydrocodone© Prescription Errors?
Hydrocodone© is also known as “dihydrocodeinone,” and the drug is a semisynthetic opioid taken by mouth. Typically, the drug will be used to treat pain or as a cough suppressant. Because Hydrocodone© is an opioid pain reducing medication, there are many risks associated with using the medication. Without appropriate care, a prescription error involving Hydrocodone© can result in serious consequences for patients.
Potential prescription errors involving Hydrocodone© can include the following:
- Incorrect formulation or dosing
- Prescribing Hydrocodone© instead of other appropriate medications
- Replacing a prescription of Hydrocodone© with an inappropriate prescription
- Doctors failing to notice contraindications with other medications the patient takes
- Pharmacists failing to identify errors made by the doctor
- Switching the medication with another patient’s
Other mistakes involving Hydrocodone© may also constitute a prescription error, so we recommend you work with a qualified prescription error lawyer from Hodges & Foty, LLP for support. We can help you determine what went wrong, the extent of bodily harm you have experienced due to the incorrect prescription, and analyze evidence related to your case.
