In medical malpractice and drug or pharmaceutical product liability cases, much of the liability can hinge on whether the adverse medical reaction that is at the heart of the lawsuit was actually caused by a prescribing error, a faulty medication, or a failure of the health care delivery process to adequately dispense a particular drug. This cause and effect relationship can only be established by someone who is an expert in :

• Toxicology;
• Basic medical science and;
• Knowledge of the therapeutics-disease relationship.

PharmaCal Ltd. has these qualifications, and is uniquely skilled at providing the consultation and expert testimony to establish this cause and effect relationship. PharmaCal Ltd. provides consultation services and expert witness testimony for both plaintiff's and defense attorneys around the nation, assisting in case assessment and trial preparation, settlement negotiations, and deposition and trial testimony.

Adverse medical reactions to pharmaceuticals can result from errors associated with medications, from prescribing errors to dosing errors, either quantity or frequency, to dispensing errors to administering errors. In addition, errors can result from a combination of medications administered in a hospital setting, prescriptions written by a doctor, and a patient's attempt at self-medication with over-the-counter products, dietary supplements, and nutraceuticals. Finally, patients who receive prescriptions for medications are already sick.  They may or may not influence a patient's response to the medication.

PharmaCal Ltd. can speak to all of these issues, identifying technical needs in a particular case, assisting in the evaluation of a case, or testifying in a deposition or trial as to the reaction. If you are working with a case in which toxicology seems to play a part, you need the services of PharmaCal Ltd. Contact PharmaCal for more information.
