Wednesday, people on social media circulated a screenshot of a tweet posted by a citizen who took to Twitter to write about an incident that happened to his nephew.

According to the tweet, the man’s nephew visited a private doctor who prescribed an antibiotic injection.

The child's family bought the prescribed injection from a pharmacy then went back to the same doctor so he would be the one to inject it.

The nephew, however, did not show any improvement after taking the antibiotic, so they went to see another doctor, who in turn told them that the injection given to the child was a ‘contraception.’

The child’s family held the pharmacy and the person, who pretended to be a pharmacist but happened to be there instead of his wife who is an actual pharmacist, responsible for what happened to the child. The family then discovered that the person who dispensed the prescription to the child was actually a school teacher.

They also held the doctor responsible because he did not pay attention enough to realize he was giving the wrong injection.

Later on, the child’s condition necessitated his admission to a hospital due to him suffering from elevated liver enzymes and severe symptoms in the digestive system.

The director of Al-Nadim Governmental Hospital, Dr. Bahaa El-Din Al-Halalmeh, said that the child came to the emergency department, suffering from a high temperature.

He added in a statement to Roya, after diagnosing the child's condition by the specialist doctor, it was found that he was given a contraceptive injection instead of an antibiotic injection.

He pointed out that full medical examinations were conducted, and the child left the hospital in good health on Wednesday evening.

On Thursday, the director of medicine at the Jordan Food and Drug Administration (JFDA), Amal Abu Al-Rub, told Roya that the report of the inspection staff at the JFDA showed that the pharmacist's assistant was the one who gave the wrong injection, which the parents' of the child submitted a complaint against.

She added that the report will be referred to the Jordan Pharmacists Association (JPA), which in turn will take the appropriate action against the responsible pharmacist.
