A prescription is generally one very important piece of paper which can help you to treat any injuries or illnesses that you have sustained – and in most cases you will receive it after visiting your GP and it will describe which medication you should take and when you should take it. Although your diagnosis is completely down to your GP, your prescription is incredibly important, especially as you will generally be dealing with a wide range of drugs and any accidents here can have serious implications.
In order for your local pharmacist to be able to concoct the type of medication that you require, they need to receive a prescription from your doctor which details exactly what type of medication you need and when you need to take it – in turn they will be able to mix together the required medications and present you with the finished product.
Although your GP is often very specific on a prescription, detailing what needs to be done and when it needs to be done, accidents can still happen and when you are working with drugs of this nature any serious mix ups could leave you overdosing and therefore requiring further medical treatment.
If a poor prescription has left you suffering from negligence then you may consider a compensation claim to cover any costs that you have incurred as a result. This claim could cover any potential medical bills that you have been left to foot in addition to any suffering and pain that you have experienced from your injury.
In addition to these costs you may find that you are unable to work or that you have been left out of work through injuries or illnesses that you have sustained from a faulty prescription – in this situation you could look at a compensation claim to cover these costs and any further costs that you sustain.
