Tonight: Marketplace, Fifth Estate

Marketplace, CBC – “Dispensing Danger”

We depend on pharmacists to help us stay healthy. But what happens when pharmacists make mistakes? After hearing from Canadians who have experienced pharmacy errors, we set out on the largest investigation of its kind: visiting 50 pharmacies in nine cities across Canada with hidden cameras. We reveal how pharmacists aren’t always following their own rules when dispensing behind-the-counter drugs. We investigate how that may be compromising patient safety. And we ask serious questions about who is keeping tabs on pharmacy errors – to keep you safe.
