pharmacy. The pharmacy at Walgreens made a major mistake yesterday! My 1 year old infant was given the wrong medication and a dosage fit for a 9 year old male at over 100 pounds. How do I know becaue the exact same prescription was mde out for my nine year old by his pediatrician! I caught the problem as I was dispensing the medication to my children, and low and behold I had given my daughter hers first. As I continued with meds I noticed the grave error and called my doctors office, they in turn called the pharmacy and I called the pharmacy back. The crew that fixed the screw up was friendly as was the prior group, however friendly just does not cut it when dealing with an infant. Neither does a $25 gift card without even informing me of the opssible side effects it could have on my daughter or what to look fr if there were any indications of abnormalities. Ove all my experience there was not pleasing. Beware! Check and double check your prescriptions before leaving the store. Thismay be an isolated incident or not. I'm just the first towrite about it.
