Taking any kind of daily medication is a pretty common practice for most people. However, just because somebody takes a medication every day doesn’t mean there aren’t any risks, whether that relates to side effects or outside intervention. That seems to be the case for this Oregon woman after she had discovered that some of the pills in her pill bottle were different from the others. She would then post a TikTok video regarding the topic, as a few social media users may be a little skeptical about her story.
The TikTok begins with the woman comparing the sizes of two different pills, though they are the same color and shape. Although the pills look the same in many ways, there is one massive difference, and that would be that the larger pill has allegedly been identified as Tramadol, which is an opioid medication. While it is unknown what kind of meds this Oregon woman takes, opioids are widely regarded as highly addictive, and in some cases, very dangerous. The woman recording would then dump out the whole pill bottle in order to show TikTok users that there were multiple different pills inside her prescription.
Oregon Woman Has TikTok Divided Following Medication Mishap
While this was definitely jarring to say the least, many TikTok commenters seemed a little skeptical of the young woman’s story. “Girl, pharmacies aren’t even allowed to mix manufacturers of the same medication into one bottle,” wrote one. Another pointed out, “Pharm tech here. Yes, sometimes things could happen, but there is no way that should have passed through the pharmacist’s final check.” However, some were also quick to take the woman’s side in all of this. “That’s an 8 figure lawsuit,” read one comment. Finally, someone joked, “Sounds like a win to me.”
The original TikTok video would then come to an end after showing the difference in the medication. However, the Oregon woman would post a Story Time TikTok to give a little more context to the situation. The woman then states that she had talked to the DEA as well as the proper authorities for the state of Oregon. While there were more dangerous medications that could have been mixed in, Tramadol is labeled as a “Narcotic,” an “Opioid,” and a “Controlled substance,” according to the woman in the TikTok.
The Oregon woman then states that the company told her that she “Did not have a case,” due to it being a “No harm, no foul” situation. Yet, there are many comments on the Story Time video urging the woman to take legal action. At the end of the day, it is unknown whether or not this mix-up truly happened. Though if it did, hopefully, the correct actions are taken to ensure it never happens again.
