Hello all,
I just caught an error that could have seriously jeopardized my 10 year old sons health.
I just refilled his RX through Walmart online. His Dr's office had just called in the renewal of his presciptions last week. I didn't notice that the name of his medication refill was slightly different than what he had been taking until after I hit the submit button.
WM has a cholesterol medication on file for him when it should be an allery pill.
LOVASTATIN 10mg= cholesterol pill
LORATADINE 10mg= allergy pill
I have to call both the DR. and the pharmacy in the morning.
If I had called or walked in to order the refill I may not have noticed it at all until it was too late.
Be careful and double check what your medication label says!
Take care,
Tami
