Medication Errors
Incorrect Administration
One out of every 5 medications dispensed in hospitals and nursing homes are administered in error.*
Advancement in pharmaceuticals has resulted in tens of thousands of prescription and non-prescription medications. A number of these medications are commonly prescribed. However not all medications are appropriate for all individuals, many are distributed in error. Some may be contraindicated for use in treatment of particular conditions or particular patients.

Drug Interactions
Even where no medication dispensing error occurs, otherwise reasonable and valid medications have been demonstrated to interact with other medications as well as herbal supplements. Individuals with chronic medical conditions may take a staggering number of medications daily.
Medication errors involving drug reactions are not always readily identifiable and could take time to diagnose. That time could be the difference between treatment and tragedy.
