Types Of Medication Errors

There are many types of medication errors. The error may be the result of the doctor writing the wrong information on the prescription, or even writing illegibly. The error may be the result of the pharmacist misreading the prescription or filling the wrong prescription. In a hospital, nursing home or other facility, the error may be caused by a nurse providing one patient another patient’s pills.

These errors may result in the patient getting the wrong medication and suffering from complications, getting dosages of medication that are too large and overdosing, or getting dosages that are too small that fail to treat the underlying medical condition.

Some medication errors involve a doctor failing to acknowledge allergy information and providing medication that the patient is allergic to, leading to an allergic reaction. Similarly, many different types of medication do not mix. If a doctor prescribes medicine without determining what other medications the patient is on, and there is a negative drug interaction, the doctor should be held accountable.
