Many medications are formulated for adult patients, and when an adult dose of a medication is given to a child in error, serious health problems can result.  Many medications on the market are not approved for young children and have been prescribed in error, and the damage to the child can be life-threatening.  In the most tragic cases, the child can lose their life through being administered a medication that was inappropriate, not approved for children or in the wrong dose.  This is one of the most common medical errors, and it has been determined in a recent study that 11 out of 100 children prescribed or administered a medication have had an adverse affect.  The study reports that 22% of these errors were preventable.  This is an extremely serious matter and the children affected can be severely injured through medical negligence.
