(914) 220-1086Advocating for Victims of Medication Errors
The National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention defines a medication error as a “preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the health care professional, patient, or consumer.” As non-medical professionals, we as patients entrust their physicians with prescribing the correct medications to treat any number of ailments that may afflict our daily lives. When these physicians prescribe incorrect pharmaceuticals or incorrect dosages of pharmaceuticals, these treatments can have serious, and potentially deadly, side effects.
