Can I bring an action against my doctor for malpractice for providing me wrong medication

You may have a case. It depends on whether your doctor fell below the standard of care in monitoring your condition and prescribing the medication. If so, then he would be considered negligent. After negligence is established, you have to prove that it was the cause of your harm. In other words, you have to show that the doctor's mistake caused your arthritis (and not something else). Another thing to consider is the statute of limitations -- you only have a certain amount of time to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. Find an experienced medical malpractice attorney in your area. Most will give you a free consultation. This will give you a better idea of whether a lawsuit is worth pursuing. Also, you should see a different doctor if you aren't getting the treatment you need.
