Multiple strengths of medications provide clinicians with the flexibility they need to meet the needs of different patients. However, having multiple strengths of the same medications available increases the risk that the clinicians will select and either dispense or administer the wrong strength. Such errors have a high risk of escaping detection because the name of the medication will be correct, although not the dose. By providing only one strength, or as few strengths as possible, of each medication, an organization can reduce the risk of these errors.
