Little girl ends up in the ICU due to ‘bad batch’ of prescribed medication, mom says

Considering my professional background the call from the pharmacy would have thrown up red flags. I also don’t understand why a medicine for hypertension would be prescribed for hyperactivity.

This particular drug is used of treating hypertension and is not FDA approved for children. When prescribed in this situation it is done off-label. I have no clue why this young child is prescribed it??

"Drew said she hadn’t yet given her daughter the medication. The pharmacy then said they had a bad batch of the medicine and if Rayven had a reaction, to let them know.

Drew gave Rayven the medication Sunday, and almost immediately, she started having an adverse reaction."

Perhaps the mother should have not given her the medicine when the pharmacy told her they had a bad batch of that medicine. My daughter has been on meds of all kinds since she was six weeks old due to her kidney disorder and has been on immunosuppressants for 7 years. If I was told about a "bad batch" of medicine I'm calling her doctors to find out where to get it somewhere else. I'm not giving her something that might kill her.

Also no most kids prescribed meds for ADHD or ADD are not 'simply bored" nor is it because "teachers can't handle them."
