Grasping the Nuances of Wrong Prescription
Grasping the Nuances of Wrong Prescription
Prescription errors can manifest in multiple ways:
- Incorrect Medication: Being prescribed a drug that isn’t suited to treat the diagnosed
ailment. - Dosage Mistakes: Receiving a prescription for the right medicine, but at an incorrect dose –
either too high or too low. - Drug Interactions: Being prescribed medicines that, when taken together, can produce
harmful side effects. - Allergic Reactions: Being prescribed a drug that the patient is known to be allergic to.
- Medication for the Wrong Patient: Instances where there is a mix-up, and a patient receives
medication intended for someone else.
Impacts of Wrong Prescription
Prescription errors can lead to:
- Adverse drug reactions.
- Aggravation of the existing medical condition.
- Development of new medical complications.
- Emotional and psychological distress due to the harm caused.
