Prevent Mix-Ups With Meds That Require Reconstitution

You play a key role in preventing reconstitution errors with oral powders for suspension (amoxicillin, oseltamivir, etc).

In a recent case, sildenafil suspension (Revatio) was dispensed after only 60 mL of water was added...an auxiliary label covered the instructions to add another 30 mL after mixing the first portion.

And there have been many reports over the years of patients getting antibiotic suspensions or other meds (methylphenidate, etc) prepped with too much water...or not enough.
