Prescription Errors Should Not Happen
Physicians, pharmacists and nursing staff have a duty to double-check before prescribing, dispensing or administering meds. Medication errors can include:
- Prescribing the wrong drug
- Giving the wrong dosage
- Failing to administer medications ordered by a doctor
- Failing to check for contraindications — known drug allergies, existing medical conditions or adverse reactions with other medications the patient is already taking
- Drug errors can cause heart attack, stroke, brain damage, kidney failure, internal bleeding and other serious reactions, including fatality. Young children, the elderly and people who are already ill or recovering from surgery are especially at risk.
