Abstract
Adverse drug events (ADE) are defined as any medication errors with significant potential to harm a patient. ADE frequently occur due to inadequate or ineffective systems of medication labeling. These ADE often result from mistakes in adherence (compliance) with the prescription instructions. Potential problems with drug labeling can occur in both in-patient and out-patient environments. This paper discusses some of the key issues to consider in drug labeling and its impact on patient safety.
