Medication error
Spending in the United States for prescription drugs has reached an all time high; $216.7 billion in 2006, more than 5 times the $40.3 billion spent in 1990. With the number of available prescription drugs on the market in the thousands, Americans are able to control major medical problems more effectively than ever.
Problems start to arise however if the wrong dosage is used, the wrong drug is prescribed, or a drug is dispensed inappropriately. Often times the results can be catastrophic.

- Incorrect dosage
