Default Re: mistakes in prescriptions!!

I had a script the other day for oxybutinin liquid, 2.5mg/5ml, take 3 teaspoonfuls tds, for a 11 year old. 3mg tds I could understand, but 7.5mg tds is high for an adult, let alone a child. Got in touch with the surgery, and surprise surprise it should have been 5ml tds.
