Drug Interactions
Doctors who prescribe their patients medications are supposed to take note of any other prescription or over the counter drugs that the patients currently take. Taking this step can help doctors avoid prescribing medications that may cause patients to suffer dangerous drug interactions.
Some reckless doctors prescribe medications that cause their patients harm. If you or someone you love suffered a drug interaction because a doctor prescribed conflicting medications, contact the Madison medical malpractice lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, today at 800-242-2874 for a free legal consultation.
The Dangers of Drug Interactions
Prescribed drugs are restricted because they can be harmful. This is as opposed to over the counter drugs, which usually have fewer problems with side effects and interactions. Prescription drugs are often more potent, and they may interact with other drugs an individual takes.
While the specific drugs an individual takes determines what effects he or she may suffer, some of the most commonly suffered effects of drug interactions are:
- Low blood pressure
- Over-production of certain hormones
- Blood clots
- High blood concentration of certain substances
Each of these effects may put an individual’s life in danger. Since it is the doctor’s responsibility to catch any potential drug interactions an individual may suffer, the physician may be liable for any injuries or illnesses an individual experiences from a drug interaction.
