What to do if Something Goes Wrong

If you are having or suspect you are having a bad reaction to a medication, or if you think there has been a significant error related to your medication, contact your doctor/provider or pharmacist promptly for advice. 

 

Do not hesitate to CALL 911 if you think this is a medical emergency.

 

Also consider reporting the Medication Error or Adverse Drug Event to the FDA.  The FDA uses this information as part of a national surveillance system to detect, evaluate, and respond to possible medication-related risks. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/index.cfm
