The Waverly Walmart Pharmacist Amy on 10-19-09 and also Mark on 10-20-09 both messed up my sons prescription for Tammaflu.
1st MISTAKE - and (I say mistake which should not be taken lightly since we are dealing with peoples lives) the tammaflu was filled for capsules and not liquid for a 7 year old who was just released from the hopital. The pharmacist since it was 8:45, 15 minutes before they closed said it shouldn't hurt anything for him to wait until tomorrow for his medication. Since the calibration would take about 1/2 to correct.
2nd MISTAKE - Same prescription - I made another trip to Walmart to pick up the so called corrected prescription and took it home to give to my son who had already missed the prior evening dose. I read the mg per ml which was 15mg/per ml. My sons doctor told me he would be taking 45mg 2 time a day..The bottle said 5ml 2 time daily @ 15mg/per ml...Which total 75mg per dose not 45mg..I called the Waverly Walmart Pharmacy and asked to speak with the pharmacist who filled my sons prescription..They told me no they could help me. I explained to them about the mg/per ml and I was put on hold. She came back and asked YOU HAVEN'T GIVEN HIM THAT YET HAVE YOU??? She said it was WRONG..and if I wanted to bring it back in or just give him 3 mls. I asked if this was a common occurence for the walmart pharmacist to mess up on prescriptions. And she said no but it probably just because it was Tammaflu...WHICH IS NOT AN ACCECTABLE ANSWER FOR ME...I then called Waverly Walmart to speak with the Manager over the pharmacist and was told he was on vacation...So I asked to speak to ANY manager and told her I wanted to file a complaint and she said she would help me and check it out...So Far thats as Far as It Has Went!!!
I WILL NOT BE FILLING ANYMORE PRESCRIPTIONS AT WAL-MART!!!
I also requested a copy of all my prescriptions I have turned in in the last 2 days - I want to check all of them myself...I have had 4 filled in 2 days...My last 4 ever at Walmart!!!
