Texas residents should be aware of the potential dangers involving prescription medications.

According to the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy, as many as one and a half million people are affected by prescription drug injuries every year in the U.S. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, indicates that this number is not accurate. The FDA asserts that a large number of medication errors go completely unreported. For this reason, the full number of injuries associated with drug errors may be much higher than the 1.5 million figure cited by the AMCP.

Psychology Today notes that on a list that identifies the top causes of medical malpractice in the country, medication mistakes come in at number four. That is among other forms of malpractice such as missed or incorrect diagnoses, inappropriate treatment regimes, surgical mistakes, and more.

Staying safe can be a matter of life and death when prescription drugs are involved.
