Medication Errors Require Medical Expertise

26 Aug 2024

Everyone makes mistakes. Research shows that people taking pharmaceutical medications frequently neglect to take them properly — missing doses, getting the dose wrong, or deliberately adjusting medications in response to side effects. Many medications require strict adherance to prescribed dosages and timing for a variety of reasons, including effectiveness and safety. If you make a mistake, don’t hide the error from your doctor. And get help from people or technology that can help you adhere to prescriptions.
