7:51Now PlayingA Las Vegas, Nevada woman says all she got was a "sorry" after a CVS pharmacy gave her the wrong drugs that killed her unborn twins.
Timika Thomas, a mother of four who wanted to expand her family, had trouble getting pregnant. She had two ectopic pregnancies, leading to Thomas removing her fallopian tubes. So she and her husband decided to try invitro fertilization – IVF.
After her procedure, she was given prescriptions to trick her body into producing enough hormones to kickstart her pregnancy. Instead of getting the prescribed drug, the pharmacy mistakenly gave her an abortion drug.
How did that happen? A pharmacy technician put in the wrong generic name of the drug Thomas was prescribed. One pharmacist did not catch the error, and another failed to counsel Thomas when she came to pick up her medication.
Thomas filed a complaint with the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy, which met last month. The two pharmacists were fined and had their licenses suspended provisionally. If both pharmacists avoid disciplinary action over the next 12 months, pay fines, and take continuing education credits, their licenses will be reinstated.
The pharmacy board fined CVS the maximum amount allowed by statute -- $10,000.00.
CVS released the following statement about this incident:
"We've apologized to our patient for the prescription incident that occurred in 2019 and have cooperated with the Nevada Board of Pharmacy in this matter. The health and well-being of our patients is our number one priority and we have comprehensive policies and procedures in place to support prescription safety. Prescription errors are very rare, but if one does occur, we take steps to learn from it in order to continuously improve quality and patient safety."
