Any preventable event related to drugs that may cause harm to a patient is known as "medication error". Errors occur due to a lack of knowledge, poor performance, and psychological lapses. The pharmacists has a major role along with physicians, nurses, and administrators to examine and improve the healthcare system in order to ensure patient safety. The objective of this study was to determine the frequency, causes, and types of medication errors in the secondary-care intensive care unit.
