Types of Prescription & Medication Errors
Prescription drugs have the power to alleviate pain and other symptoms and make crucial changes in the body that can literally save lives. If they are improperly administered or prescribed, however, a patient may be left with serious or even life-threatening injuries. Many medications look similar to one another or are so potent that even administering a small amount over the recommended dose could cause catastrophic problems. Doctors, nurses, and pharmacists have an obligation to exercise due caution when prescribing and handling medications.
