Medication Safety Week – April 1-7, 2024

Medication Safety Week is observed from April 1 to 7.  It serves as a reminder that we must be more cautious about how we use and store our medications, as medication errors are the sixth leading cause of death. It’s important to know what you’re taking, how to take it correctly, and when to discard it. Medication Safety Week strives to educate both health professionals and consumers in order to reduce the risk of patient harm.  Understanding how certain pharmaceuticals interact with other drugs, foods, and supplements is part of Medication Safety Week.  To obtain further information, please MEDICATION SAFETY WEEK - April 1-7, 2024 - National Today
