Medication Errors
People do not want to take medications. They require effort and expense, and they often come with troublesome side effects. The beneficial effect of certain drugs makes the effort and expense worthwhile, especially to the pharmaceutical industry, which is making tremendous profits from medications that kill bacteria, control blood pressure, fight against cholesterol, control diabetes, and prevent erectile dysfunction.
When medication errors occur, either by giving the wrong medication or the wrong dose, it can be dangerous. Giving erectile dysfunction drugs to patients with heart conditions can cause fatal heart attacks. Too much anticoagulant medication to a patient can cause bleeding in the brain, a hemorrhagic stroke, and too little can cause blood clots to form and block an artery in the brain, an embolic stroke. A combination of different medications can cause a deadly drug interaction. Even patients with known allergies to certain drugs can be given those drugs anyway resulting in a severe allergic reaction with permanent injuries.
