Question posted in the Malpractice Law category relating to Gauteng
There is a leading clinic pharmacy where i requested medicine for my wife who is pregnant. The pharmacist advised me that she can only use Allergex ointment and myocol ointment as she had a allergic reaction to something she ate.
I purchased the 2 ointments and went home- when i read the inside pamphlet it said do not use during pregancy.
