One thing the FDA and pharmaceutical companies could do decrease wrong medications. Give a medication one mane and all companies use it. The chemical generic names of medications are endless and yes disasters waiting to happen.
I picked up blood pressure scripts for my mother at Walgreen’s. Among others, one was supposed to be hydalizine, a blood pressure med. When I got home, the label said hydroxozine, an antihistamine which can interact with some blood pressure meds. Apparently, they had been giving her the wrong medication for months.
When I took the script back to them, they became very anxious, and appropriately apologetic.
The lesson is, know your meds and read the labels always.
They can also color coat the vials so it would make it easier to identify. Large Letters on the Bottles. Actually They should be required to scan them before use. It can be done quickly and a voice activated computer can read out loud the medication. This would have solved the problem
