You can get your money back, or get the correct prescription. However, if you were damaged because you took the wrong pills, thinking that they were the right ones, you probably do have a case.

You may have a claim, but what are your damages? Unless they are severe and permanent, the cost of pursuing the claim will probably outweigh the potential recovery.

Yes, if it harmed you in some way. If you did not ingest the medicine, or if you did but it caused no damage, you have no case.

You may. The pharmacy has a duty to ensure that the right drug, which has been prescribed by your doctor, is given to you. However, damages are a necessary part of any negligence case.

Were you injured as a result? You may have a claim if you suffered injuries from taking the wrong drug.

If you were hurt as a result, yes. If you are just looking for a quick buck, no. Always has to be damages in every injury case, not just hurt feelings or the desire to pick up a buck.

Only if there were damages (injuries) for taking the medicine.

Yes, if you suffered any side effects from taking the wrong prescription drug. If you didn't take the medicine because you recognized the pill was wrong, then no.

Yes. You would need to prove damages.
