Do I have a case here...... My pharmacist wrote my prescription?!
Question: wrong and I overdosed on Augmentin XR, which is a very, very strong antibiotic. The pharmacist wrote for me to take 2 tablets twice daily.... and I did. Let's just say.... I had some horrible side effects (not life threatening, but really bad). Do I have a good case in court? Thanks. Any info would be helpful.

I don't know enough details to advise you, but you should contact an attorney and explain what happened. You might possibly have a very good case, and your pharmacist could be facing criminal charges as well.
maybe... if the pharmacist does not have a license to practice medicine, then you have a case.
i'm not sure though... ask a lawyer
ask a lawyer. how d he*l r people on yahoo answers supossed to know that?
I would say yes you sure do have a good case,Life threatening or not they should know what medication they was handing to you and they are supposed to go over the medication before you leave the pharmacy.
i no everything.
It is not technically possible to "overdose" on an antibiotic. The human body will use the amount it needs and throw off any excess. This is why they tell you to take only the prescribed amount on time since excess is wasted. I would more likely suspect that you simply had a negative reaction to the antibiotic that would have happened at any dose. Meantime you can contact an attorney if you like but isn't that exactly what is wrong with this country?? Everyone is sue happen. Good grief, life isn't perfect.
