 Drug Errors
Today a woman brought back a packet of atenolol, that was labelled thyroxine. The makes/packs in the pharmacy I was working in were not the same, so I am unsure how this happened (it happened a few days ago through another pharmacist).
Luckily the woman's daughter had spotted the error so no harm was done. The only similiar thing was the atenolol was 50mg and the thyroxine was 50mcg, so I guess the "50" was seen.
