Woman Claims Walgreen’s Pharmacy Caused Miscarriage

In Missouri, a woman, named Chanda Givens, and her husband is suing Walgreen after she had a miscarriage after she went to the Walgreen pharmacy for a prescription of prenatal vitamins and instead they filled her prescription with a chemotherapy drug that had a similar brand name.

She was supposed to have been given Materna but instead they filled her prescription with Matulane, which is used to treat Hodgkin’s disease. Matulane interferes with the growth of cells and their ability to split and reproduce. Givens had a miscarriage less than a month after taking the drug.
