Abstract

The article looks at several medication and self-medication malpractices and errors as of February 2017. Topics covered include approval of uric acid transporter 1 inhibitor Lesinurad as a single entity tablet rather than a combination product with a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, an inexperienced nurse confused by label, and look-alike vials of vecuronium 20-milligram injection and vancomycin 1-gram injection.
