Caroline Steinbrecher has used the same pharmacy for years to fill her family’s prescriptions, never having any issue until a new pharmacist was hired on staff. She didn’t think much about the new pharmacy employee until she picked up her young son’s medicine and made a disturbing find after it was too late.
Steinbrecher said her 8-year-old son, Jake Steinbrecher, has relied on the same medication, Clonidine, to control his hyperactivity for three years. He’s always had a great experience with it, never suffering any side effects until Halloween of 2015. What the mother would soon be told was a “mistake” turned out to be anything but that, and her nightmare would come to a terrifying end on June 8 when her son passed away.
According to Inside Edition, Steinbrecher has been a regular at Good Day Pharmacy in Loveland, Colorado, which has always filled Jake’s prescription of Clonidine without issue.
