Small Medication Errors Can Have Large Consequences

The Center for Drug Evaluation and Research within the U.S. Food and Drug Administration notes that medication errors are “any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient, or consumer.” Since there are many professionals involved an error can occur when writing a prescription, manufacturing, administering, or monitoring drugs. The delivery of incorrect dosages, medication to the wrong patients, or over prescription can lead to deadly results.
