How do pharmacy errors occur?

Pharmacy errors can occur in several different forms. Typically, the wrong medication is distributed or the required dosage is incorrect. When these mistakes arise, the patients on the receiving end run the risk of taking potentially damaging medications or life-threatening dosages. These errors may take place for a number of reasons.

Typically, pharmacy errors arise from miscommunications or simple carelessness. For example, an illegible doctor’s prescription or a computer typo may result in the wrong medication or dosage being prescribed to a patient. Popular pharmacies that tend to always be busy also run the risk of doling out the incorrect medication to patients. Pharmacists and technicians who are overrun with work have been known to make prescription errors.
