  If medicine was incorrectly labeled that this could lead to improper dosage, unintended side effects or even death. Once the error has been found, you might treat the patient by additional monitoring of their condition, use medicine to counteract the effects or even stopping the original treatment for a time. Depending on what medicine is being used for treatment, it can be quick to spot an issue or it can take some time.
  Luckily there are lots of safeguards in place so it rarely happens and when it does recalls can be put in place rapidly to retrieve all the faulty medicine.
