Rice Law

About Rice Law

In Maryland, a pharmacist does not have a duty to warn a patient of potentially dangerous side-effects or to safeguard a patient from taking medications that would adversely affect each other. However, this lack of duty does not always free a pharmacist from liability when incorrectly filling a prescription. A pharmacy must have safety protocols in place to ensure that medication is stored and dispensed properly. Furthermore, a pharmacist must fill prescriptions accurately. If there is a question regarding any prescription, the pharmacist should contact the prescribing physician rather than guess. Negligent conduct by a pharmacist or pharmacy that results in the wrong medication being dispensed can usually give rise to a lawsuit.
