Pharmacist reprimanded after dispensing GP’s fatal prescription
The pharmacist said she failed to convince the GP to change the dose
A pharmacist has been reprimanded for dispensing a fatal dose of methotrexate after she failed to convince the prescribing GP he had made an error.
Ian Gilbert, 77, died in 2015 after the GP prescribed a 5mg daily dose of methotrexate tablets for his psoriasis flare-up, instead of a weekly dose.
