Is the death of a mother considered accidental killing if it occurred after she was given a medicine that led to the deterioration of her health, despite initial improvement, based on the doctors' reassurances, knowing that the person who administered the medicine was a pharmacist?
You must refer to doctors to determine the cause of death. If it was due to an act of the questioner, then he owes the blood money (diyah) and expiation (kaffarah) for accidental killing. If it was due to another cause, then nothing is incumbent upon him.
