Why Do Prescription Drug Errors Happen?
There are several reasons why prescription errors occur, most of which are preventable. Prescription errors are frequently the result of negligence or wrongdoing on the part of a doctor, pharmacist, or other medical professional. The following are common reasons why and how prescription errors occur:
- A doctor's illegible handwriting
- A doctor prescribing the wrong medication
- The wrong dosage of a medication being given
- Similarity between drug names
- A drug being given to the wrong patient
- Failure to recognize allergies or harmful drug interactions
- Giving a patient the wrong directions about use of the drug
