Stay Alert for Demo Meds That Look Like Actual Meds

You can help prevent mix-ups between demonstration, or “demo,” products and actual meds.

In a recent report, demo albuterol inhalers, which don’t contain medication, were dispensed to patients instead of the actual inhalers.

It’s not surprising...since demo inhalers, auto-injectors, and other devices used for patient education often look like the real thing.
