My post on prescription errors seems prescient. In today's Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Spotlight column, which focuses on consumer protection issues, was titled "The harm in pharmacy misfills." Unbeknownst to me, there is a process for reporting these errors to the Georgia Board of Pharmacy so the errors can be tracked and pharmacies can be disciplined, when appropriate. If you have experienced a pharmacy error, I encourage you to report it. If you are in another state, check to see if your state has a similar Board. Here's the information for Georgia:

or
Georgia Board of Pharmacy
237 Coliseum Drive
Macon, GA 31217
As noted in the Spotlight column, "Make sure to include your name and contact information."
