Medication Errors

Medication error occurs when there is a breakdown in the treatment process that leads to a patient receiving incorrect medication, wrong dosage, or administration route. These mistakes can happen at any point, from prescribing to dispensing prescription medication and even during the administration of drugs.

Prescription errors can lead to serious health consequences such as adverse drug reactions, treatment failures, or even life-threatening conditions. Most medication errors include prescribing the wrong drug, dosage miscalculations/incorrect dosage, and providing medication to the wrong patient.
