Unfortunately, this is often too late for some people who have already suffered serious health issues.

A risky drug case could be involving any medication. This includes prescription and non-prescription drugs. However, many of these cases are based on prescription drugs and the manner in which they are prescribed or dispensing to patients by doctors or hospitals.

In these situations the medication could have been prescribed for an off-label use or it may have been administered by a hospital or a pharmacy without properly scanning the prescription or confirming that the patient's medical condition warrants the drug's administration.
