Reviews
"Preventing Medication Errors is a well written guide that in the first part explains everything you need to know about drugs and their effects in our bodies. I really like the case examples presented in some sections, especially in the chapter on pregnancy and breastfeeding where there is also an excellent summary of the considerations during these conditions. The second part gives the reader tips on how to handle medications in common diseases. All in all, I think this is an excellent resource for home use about the optimal use of drugs in order to prevent medication errors." -- Robert H. Levin, Pharm.D., FASHP, FCSHP, Professor Emeritus of Clinical Pharmacy, Department of Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy, University of California"Dr Haroutounian's book is about an important and timely topic: the use of medication and how to prevent errors at home. This very readable and didactic book has two parts. The first part describes essentials about drugs and how they work . In the second part, there are very valuable management chapters for the person with different disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, pain, etc. The book benefits form many useful examples which makes it easy and interesting to read. Tens of thousands of people die every year because of side effects and overdosing of drugs. Most of these fatal cases could have been avoided if simple principles about drug efficacy and safety were known by those taking medications. I am convinced that Dr. Haroutounian's book will contribute to a better and safer use of drugs among people in the future." -- Troels Staehelin Jensen, MD, DMSc, Professor of Neurology, Director of Diabetic Neuropathy Center, Danish Pain Research Center, Aarhus University, "Preventing Medication Errors is a well written guide that in the first part explains everything you need to know about drugs and their effects in our bodies.

Synopsis
Your home probably has some sort of pain relief medication, something to combat bouts of allergies, and maybe a few vitamins or supplements from the local health store. And then there are the prescribed medications, the ones you're taking daily and those that you take "as needed". But do you ever wonder how your medications work, what is the best time to take each, or how that pain relief tablet, those allergy meds, and prescription drugs interact when taken at the same time? Or how your newly prescribed antibiotic reacts with that glass of wine you had with dinner?Preventing Medication Errors at Home tells you what you need to know about those medications in your house and how each can improve your health and possibly cause harm. With drug therapy being a major part of conventional medical treatment, and so many medications available over-the-counter, tens of thousands of people in the United States alone die every year from side effects related to their diabetes, pain, depression and blood-thinning medications, and roughly one million people are admitted to the hospital for drug-related issues. At least half of these disasters are preventable with proper awareness of how drugs work, how to take them properly, how to identify serious side effects, and how to avoid dangerous drug combinations.Dr. Simon Haroutounian presents an engaging, easy-to-read book to help you take responsibility for your medications. Learning how to ask the right questions before you start a new medication is likely to improve your health, and possibly save your life., Preventing Medication Errors at Home tells you what you need to know about those medications in your house and how each can improve your health and possibly cause harm.
