MEDICATION REACTIONS & DEATHS
Just The Facts
Medication-related errors account for 7,000 to 9,000 deaths in the United States each year while hundreds of thousands of patients have medication related reactions or complications that go unreported, according to the National Library of Medicine.1
“The use of packaging interventions like pillboxes or blister packs has been shown to significantly improve medication adherence.”2
Medication-related errors include, but are not limited to, medicine interactions with other medicines or OTC drugs, wrong medication, or wrong dosage, mixing up different pills that are similar in size and shape, or missing or skipping doses.
