• Identifying the wrong medication
• Providing incorrect dosage information
• Providing incorrect medication instructions
• Failing to provide side effect warnings

The negligence that leads to incorrect labeling of pharmaceuticals can be extremely dangerous to the health of patients. Victims of this form of medical malpractice may have grounds for legal action against the negligent pharmacist or drug manufacturer.
