I found one pill of the wrong drug in my Rx bottle.
I've never taken this drug, neither has my SO and didn't recognize it and it's lucky I even noticed it.
How often do you examine every pill from every bottle?
I'm 100% certain the pharmacy made the mistake.
Here it is surrounded by the pills I do take that belong in that bottle.
I looked it up.
It's Mylan.
Apparently aka Furosemide, a loop diuretic.
Something to do with preventing the body from absorbing salt.
I could just blow this off because the pill itself seems harmless ... AFAIK.
No big deal. Right?
But it could have been something unsafe, or worse, for me.
Aren't there pills now for assisted suicide?
You could argue it's an honest mistake since the pills look similar.
What would you do?
