Abstrakt: Incorrect dispensing of medications by community pharmacies can lead to accidental poisonings. This may not be considered by emergency medicine physicians in patients describing vague symptoms. We present a case of a paediatric ingestion of amlodipine, resulting from a community pharmacy dispensing error, that was recognized by the child's mother, and consider the liability implications.
