Parents alerted after pharmacy mistakenly gives child opioids instead of ADHD medication.

A Comox, BC, couple narrowly avoided a dangerous mistake when a pharmacy gave their 9-year-old son opioids instead of his ADHD medication. The mother, Sarah Paquin, urges parents to double-check prescriptions. After catching the error, the pharmacy owner apologized and refunded the cost. Loblaw, the parent company, acknowledged it as human error and promised to review safety measures. Paquin filed a complaint with the College of Pharmacists of B.C.
