Types Of Preventable Medication Errors

The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention defines a medication error as any preventable event that could result in the inappropriate use of prescription medication. Both physicians and pharmacists can be liable for medication errors if it is determined that their negligence constitutes medical malpractice. This can be difficult to prove, but our firm can help. Some of the types of medication errors that result in medical malpractice can include:

  • A doctor mixing up one prescription drug name for another when prescribing
  • A doctor prescribing a dose inappropriate for the patient
  • A doctor not checking for potential drug interactions between a new prescription and a patient’s existing prescriptions
  • A pharmacist filling the prescription with the wrong medication or dosage strength
  • A pharmacist not providing the appropriate usage instructions with the prescription
