Common Types Of Medication Errors

Pharmaceutical errors can occur at various stages of the medication process, from initial prescription to final administration. Understanding the different types of mistakes helps identify liability:

• Prescribing errors involving incorrect medications, inappropriate dosages, or failure to consider patient allergies and medical history
• Dispensing errors by pharmacists who provide the wrong medication, incorrect strength or improper quantities to patients
• Administration errors by nurses who give medications at the wrong times, through the incorrect routes or to the wrong patients
• Monitoring failures where health care providers fail to track patient responses or adjust medications based on changing conditions

Each type of error requires careful investigation to determine which health care providers failed to meet the standard of care.

Serious Consequences Of Medication Errors

The impact of pharmacist errors and other medication mistakes extends far beyond temporary discomfort. Patients may experience severe allergic reactions, organ damage, worsening of their original condition or development of new medical problems requiring extensive treatment. Some medication errors result in permanent disabilities, while others prove fatal when patients receive medications that interact dangerously with their existing prescriptions.
