Medical misadventure
Manufacturers of pharmaceutical preparations are being made aware that child-proof caps should be placed on all medications which are in bottles and not blister-packed.
(eg: Coumadin, Prednosone, etc). Both these containers and blister packed. Medication containers should be sealed to ensure the contents have not been compromised.
Many OTC preparations are also remiss in this area so that once the security seal is broken children may have unfettered access to the contents of these powerful medications.
Pharmacists dispensing extemporaneous medications should also use child-proof caps whenever practicable.
