Overdosage on Diflucan - what should I do? Please help

[Guest guest]

My son (4 yr old) is taking Diflucan 50mg twice/day for 2 weeks in each month.

He is on Antibiotics and Antifungals rotation.

Dr prescription was 50mg once/day. Since Dr office called in Pharmacy for

prescription, I did not see the actual prescription. Stupid Pharmacy put the

label wrongly as twice/day. So I have been giving him double the dosage for

past 2 months (March16-31 & April 16-today).

Just today we found out the mistake because I called for new prescription and

this time pharmacy put the label correctly as once/day.

Also recently my son started having lot of behaviour issues: chewing on

clothes, grabbing his penus and sometimes squeezing or playing with it so hard

that it might hurt and he would cry. Lot of screaming, jumping all the time

etc. He started loosing his appetite as well.

We could not figure out what was wrong, his urine work did not show anything.

Now I believe that it is this Diflucan over dosage that might be causing these

issues.

I am waiting for Dr advice now,

I feel like crying and very nervous now. Please help,

What should I do now?

(Pharmacy has admitted their mistake, what kind of action I can take against

them?)

Thanks
