An Aurora mother says she is disgusted that a Walgreens pharmacy filled her 4-year-old son’s prescription with an adult dosage.
Cher Gillespie trusted that her Walgreens pharmacist would fill her son’s regular Singulair prescription like they always had. A.J. is four years old and has been sick with asthma and other conditions his whole life.
Gillespie noticed the pill in the bottle didn’t match the description on the label. Soon, Cher would find out the pills were two-and-a-half times the dosage prescribed to A.J.
In a statement, Walgreens said: “Cases like this are rare and we take them very seriously. We’re sorry this occurred and we apologized to the family. We have a multi-step prescription filling process with numerous safety checks in each step to reduce the chance of human error. We will investigate what happened and what can be done to prevent it from happening again.”
