Walgreens Sued For Dosage Error On Prescription

A man is suing a Walgreens Pharmacy in New Orleans where he was allegedly prescribed the incorrect dosage of his medication that led to complications including a disfiguring infection in his face. Oliver Hall filed suit against Walgreen Louisiana Company Inc., Walgreen’s Pharmacy and M.W. Smith in the Orleans Parish Civil District Court on Sept. 23. On Jan. 28 Hall was rushed to Ochsner Baptist Hospital emergency room to treat a large sore, which had grown between his upper lip and nose over the past few days. The emergency room physician on-call, Dr. Coffin, diagnosed the plaintiff with an MRSA infection, a form of staph.
