Write a complaint to a pharmacy about an apparent dispensing or substitution error, focused on process and records. Details I will supply: pharmacy [PHARMACY_NAME], date and prescription number [DATE_AND_RX], what I received versus what the label or prescription said [DISCREPANCY], what I did after noticing [ACTIONS_TAKEN], who I contacted [CONTACTS], what I ask [DESIRED_REMEDY]. The draft must describe the discrepancy, state that a clinician has been contacted for advice if true, and ask for an incident review and a written reply. It should not give any medical advice. Keep to process: the prescription number, what the prescription says, what the label says, the date I noticed and who I told. Say I have asked a clinician for advice if that is true, and ask the pharmacy for an incident review, the outcome in writing, and confirmation of any change to checks. Do not describe symptoms or give medical opinions. Gather before drafting: Photos of labels, prescription copy, receipt, and notes of calls. Reasonable asks: A review, correction, refund, and process change. A typical reply: Pharmacies may offer an apology only; reply by asking for the review outcome. First build a timeline table for the pharmacy substitution or dispensing error complaint without medical advice (date, what happened, proof), mark undocumented dates, and then draft the letter from it. Deliver the letter together with a short cover note, around 50 words, then an if-ignored ladder (ask the pharmacist in charge, then head office, then the pharmacy regulator), plus a proof checklist (labels, prescription, receipt, notes). Send it by a tracked route with a signature on delivery, then file the tracking page once it shows delivered. Make it steady, civil and clear, with no threats beyond lawful steps, put the date from [DEADLINE] on any request, and say where an outcome is uncertain. Write it as me, an ordinary person, with no invented titles. Quote no statute or time limit from memory; work from [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] only as I give them, and add a line telling me to confirm the rules with a professional or consumer agency. None of this is legal advice.

Dear Pharmacist in Charge, On 8 October I collected prescription 4410/21. The label reads 'Brand A, 20 mg' but the prescription copy I hold lists 'Brand B, 10 mg'. I have not taken any and contacted my doctor's surgery for advice today. I would like an incident review, a written explanation, and confirmation of what checks apply. Photos of the label and prescription copy are attached. Please reply by 22 October. I would like to know whether a second pharmacist checks prescriptions before dispensing here, and whether other patients may have been affected. I am not asking for any advice about the medicine itself.
