Stay Alert for Confusion With Med Concentrations

September 2022

You can help catch mix-ups among med concentrations...such as oral methadone 1, 2, and 10 mg/mL or oral morphine 2, 4, and 20 mg/mL.

Choosing the wrong concentration will lead to an overdose or underdose...and possibly serious consequences.

For example, accidentally dispensing Humulin R 500 units/mL instead of 100 units/mL could lead to a deadly drop in blood sugar.
