Medication errors can result in serious injury or worsen an existing condition. An incorrectly prescribed medication may adversely interact with other drugs and cause life threatening injuries. Furthermore, the administration of an improper drug usually results in the failure to administer the prescribed, necessary medication for an existing illness. Furthermore, severe or allergic reactions to incorrect drugs or dosages can result in serious injury or death. Some potential consequences of medication errors include the following:

• Misdiagnosis or mistreatment of the condition for which the medication was prescribed
• Side effects
• Possible allergic reactions
• Unintended adverse drug interactions

Before you receive any medicine, your physician, nurse and pharmacist should be certain of the prescribed medication, dosage, frequency and route of administration. Your medical condition and any potential allergies should be thoroughly researched and understood by your health care providers. Your medication history and files should be continuously updated so that your doctors, nurses and pharmacist are aware of your medication history and the potential for adverse side effects or dangerous drug interactions.
