Medication error is a type of medical malpractice. It often occurs when a medical professional is responsible for a patient being medicated in a missapropriate or harmful way.
Some common types of medication error include giving the patient the wrong medication or giving the patient the incorrect dosage. One other type of medication error is giving a patient medication that reacts poorly with another medication used by the patient.
