Adverse drug events (ADE) are defined as any medication error with significant potential to harm a patient [13]. Often times, ADE occur due to inadequate or ineffective systems of labeling. These ADE often result in mistakes in prescription adherence (compliance) with the prescription instructions. These mistakes are costly and can be deadly. Potential problems with drug labeling can occur in both in-patient and out-patient environments. This paper discusses some of the key issues to consider in drug labeling and its impact on patient safety.
药物不良事件（ADE）被定义为任何有显著潜在可能伤害患者的用药错误[13]。通常情况下，药物不良事件的发生是由于标签系统不充分或无效。这些药物不良事件常常导致在遵循处方说明方面出现错误。这些错误代价高昂且可能致命。药物标签的潜在问题可能在住院和门诊环境中都出现。本文讨论了药物标签中一些需要考虑的关键问题及其对患者安全的影响。
