A range of factors likely contribute to the incidence of medication-related visits to the emergency room: a prescriber's instructions, a patient's adherence to those instructions, the drugs themselves, and much more. How serious are many of these events? How can medical professionals help prevent these episodes? Host Dr. Charles Turck probes these questions and beyond with Dr. Peter Zed, a pharmacotherapeutic specialist in emergency medicine and an associate professor in the department of emergency medicine and the College of Pharmacy at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.
