Types of Medication Errors

There are a number of different ways that a medication error may affect a patient. For example, a patient with a known allergy to a specific medication may suffer serious injury or may even die if administered this medication because a doctor failed to review the patient's medical history. The same applies if a medication is prescribed or administered that violently reacts with another medicine the patient is already taken or has been given. Finally, even when a doctor prescribes the right medicine a pharmacy may make a mistake when dispensing the prescription.
