Thus, the probability for error due to confusing drug names is very high. The SALA drug names have become a significant challenge to pharmacists, nurses, patients, and doctors. With thousands of drugs currently on the market, the probability for error is significant. The purpose of this article is to formulate a policy that would help in minimizing medication errors arising with the use of SALA medications. How to cite this article Singh S, Singh AR.
