Abstract
The incidence of drug-related liability claims is discussed, and data from a number of studies in this area are reviewed. Drug categories that appear to cause the greatest problems are hormones, anticoagulants, adrenal steroids, and antibiotics. Focusing attention on these categories may enable the pharmacist to function as a liability-reducing factor in the institutional setting.Keywords
