What is the name of your state? California. Last week Costco filled a prescription for me for Prednisone and gave me 20mg tabs instead of the 5mg tabs that the Doctor had prescribed. Without going into a lot of detail, this mistake had me taking 4 times the amount prescribed by the doctor, so instead of 40 mgs a day (5mg tab x8 every morning) I was taking 20 mg tabs x8 = 160 mgs a day and had already completed the first four days before the mistake was discovered. I have been suffering horribly in numerous ways from the effects of such a high dosage and it will take quite some time before the worst of the effects dimenish and I can only hope that there will be no permanent damage.
I was being prescribed this medicine because I was extremely ill with a severe allergic reaction to Bactrim DS. This has been a really awful experience, that could have cost someones life. Do I have any recourse?
