U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention Launches Drug Error Finder

USP’s Drug Error Finder – Look–alike/Sound–alike Drug Names: “As a service to healthcare practitioners, industry, consumers, and others, USP has developed a free tool for accessing drug names that have been identified with a medication error. USP’s Drug Error Finder allows a user to search more than 1,400 drugs involved in look–alike and/or sound–alike errors. It not only lists the other drugs involved in a mix–up, but also designates the severity of the error where at least one report was received through USP’s Reporting Programs.”
