Sharon, MANY drugs are still on the market that can & DO injure people....esp.

in the wrong dosages. Did you know that plain old tylenol is VERY toxic to the

liver, if taken in high enough dosages? Just an example--it's why we should ALL

ask our docs, before taking any meds., since we're not physicians ourselves.

Even a plain old aspirin could kill a person, if the conditions were

right.....!!

Here, here.

In 1991 I got a miswritten prescription label for digoxin at a REGULAR

pharmacy - I was supposed to take the pill 1x a day and the label said 4x. This

was immediately after my first heart valve surgery, and I felt like crap, but I

kinda figured you feel like crap after they get you wired back together.

I took a month's worth of drugs in a week - I couldn't digest food properly

for weeks, and hallucinated for about 8 months...we know from reports that this

sort of mistake happens at a scarily high rate, a rate I suspect is MUCH higher

than the mistakes they find at locally-run compounding pharmacies.

Sure, it's worth calling the mistake to people's attention - it's a HUGE

error, but it's not appropriate to damn this whole part of the industry based on

this kind of error when errors abound elsewhere.

I'm sorry that 3 people died from a lethal dose of medication, but

that is not a reason to condemn all compounding pharmacies. Where is

the CDC report on " regulated " pharmacies results of patients either

becoming extremely ill or dying because of medication. Not to

mention how many times the hospitals, doctors, clinics etc.,

prescribe wrong medications, can't read the doctors handwriting and

administer the wrong medication.

When will the CDC put out a report on how many people they have

killed as a result of denying illnesses! Up till now no one has been

regulating them.

It's just like silicone breasts...there are soo many women sick &

disabled from them; yet they put them back on the market b/c they're

such huge money makers.

You're very lucky you survived that week. That was a HUGE mistake &

it's unfortunate that it wasn't caught by someone before you ingested

such a cardiac specific drug. I'm glad you're ok.
