Being Careless is unacceptable
Wednesday, December 15, 2010 @ < $BlogItemDateTime$>
I came about this news in the Straits Times newspaper on 15 December. Being careless sometimes can caused trouble. In this case, eye medicine turns out to be dental paste. This happen in Singapore. The mix-up by the pharmacy at National University Hospital (NUH) caused the 63 year old lady's eyelids to stick together.

She was supposed to prescribe Solcoseryl 20% Eye Gel but was given Solcoseryl Dental Adhensive Paste.  She did not discover the mix-up until she applied the ointment and discovered she had trouble opening her eye as she wasnt able to read English. She was later sent to be treated at the emergency department at NUH.

The Vice-President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Singapore said that the main reason this error occurred is probably due to the products looking very alike.

I was quite amazed by this news as NUH being a well known hospital in Singapore even made such big mistake. I think they should double check on products before dispensing. If products look alike, they should store them separately and label all products.

 Sometimes work stress in the Pharmacy can lead to such errors too. So do remember to check your prescribed medication before taking it~
