Such errors are a great causeof concern as they have the potential to causepatient harm. The aim of this study was todetermine the nature and types of medicationprescribing errors in an Indian setting.Methods: The medication errors were analyzed in aprospective observational study conducted in 3medical wards of a public teaching hospital in India.The medication errors were analyzed by means ofMicromedex Drug-Reax database.Results: Out of 312 patients, only 304 were includedin the study. Of the 304 cases, 103 (34%) caseshad at least one error. The total number of errorsfound was 157. The drug-drug interactions were themost frequently (68.2%) occurring type of error,which was followed by incorrect dosing interval(12%) and dosing errors (9.5%). The medicationclasses involved most were antimicrobial agents(29.4%), cardiovascular agents (15.4%), GI agents(8.6%) and CNS agents (8.2%). The moderateerrors contributed maximum (61.8%) to the totalerrors when compared to the major (25.5%) andminor (12.7%) errors. The results showed that thenumber of errors increases with age and number ofmedicines prescribed.Conclusion: The results point to the establishmentof medication error reporting at each hospital and toshare the data with other hospitals. The role ofclinical pharmacist in this situation appears to be astrong intervention; and the clinical pharmacist,initially, could confine to identification of themedication errors. 2007 artículo científico 1885-642X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=69050103 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69050103/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69050103/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69050103/69050103.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/690/69050103/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=690 Pharmacy Practice application/pdf Centro de investigaciones y Publicaciones Farmacéuticas Pharmacy Practice (España) Num.1 Vol.5 |
