Which of the following medication pairs is an example of aLook-Alike, Sound-Alike (LASA) errorin which an antifungal drug is dispensed instead of an anesthetic drug?
Diflucan and Diprivan, huh? Looks like the pharmacist needs to brush up on their 'sounds like' skills. Maybe they should try a little 'name that drug' game during their breaks - could save a lot of embarrassment down the line.
Amiloride and Amlodipine? Sounds like a case of 'spot the difference' gone wrong. I wonder if the patient would end up with a heart condition or a diuretic overdose. Either way, it's not going to be pretty.
Metronidazole and Metformin? That's just asking for trouble. I can see the doctor's face now when the patient comes back with a nasty case of thrush instead of diabetes medication.
Wow, this one's a real stumper. Looks like the drug companies need to work on their naming conventions. I bet the pharmacist would need a crystal ball to catch that kind of mistake.
Diflucan and Diprivan? Seriously? That's a recipe for a major mix-up. I can just imagine the patient waking up with a fungal infection instead of anesthesia. Yikes!
