Are you at risk of pharmacy errors?

Pharmacy Errors are Preventable Why Are Pharmacy Errors So Common?
Pharmacy errors will happen; they have happened since pharmacists were apothecaries instead of pharmacists, and with village wise people even before that. Any time there is a human involved, there is a chance for errors to be made. With the number of pharmacists actually shrinking, and the number of prescriptions actually growing, and the population aging, errors are increasingly common.
The many reasons for pharmacy mistakes include:

• Overworked pharmacists and technicians. 
• Pharmacists and their helpers sometimes work between 12 and 16 hours every day, without any rest breaks or meal breaks. These hardworking people also have 2-3 minutes to fill between 300 and 400 scripts every day.
  The corporations they work for have bean-counters who crunch numbers and decide how many scripts have to be filled to make maximum profits. They don't have the patients' or their employees' best interest at heart. 
• Distractions - On top of all this, customers are complaining about the wait, asking directions to grocery items or the bathroom, and the phone is ringing off the hook.

None of these things absolves them of their duty to safely and correctly dispense to you the medicine you need.
