Abstract
Prescribing Errors in Prescription Orders Containing Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: A Case Study of District Khairpur, Sindh, Pakistan.
Highlights
A prescription error is a failure in the prescription writing process which results in a wrong instruction about one or more of the normal features of a prescription
The objective of this study is to identify the extent of prescribing errors in prescriptions containing Non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and to find appropriate solutions for reducing these errors because NSAIDs are one of the widely misused drugs
A total of 479 prescriptions containing NSAIDs were collected from various outpatient clinical settings of district Khairpur Pakistan and analyzed retrospectively to identify the common prescribing errors, i.e. omission errors and commission errors as per prescription writing guidelines/parameters established by the World Health Organization and authenticated drug references, such as, The Drug information book and the British National Formulary (BNF)
