About National Prescription Errors Education Week
Health , United States
Ends: Oct 31, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
Each October, directly following Food & Drug Interaction Week, Pharmacists Planning Service, Inc. sponsors Prescription Errors Education Week.
The FDA defines a medication error as "any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is controlled by the health care professional, patient, or consumer. Such events may be related to professional practice, health care products, procedures, and systems, including prescribing; order communication; product labeling, packaging, and nomenclature; compounding; dispensing; distribution; administration; education; monitoring; and use."
Each year tens of thousands of people become ill or die from prescription drug errors. This week is an opportunity to discuss your medications with your doctor or pharmacist (including any herbal supplements and over-the-counter drugs you're taking) and assure no potential errors exist.
