Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 319=319/L)

If you tried to prescribe with complete caution and care and unintentionally committed any mistake and the patient was harmed by it, then you will not be accountable before Allah provided you are a registered physician and have been trained by any medical expert:
