Description
David García González and colleagues present a two thousand twenty-three study of medication errors in patients fed through stomach tubes. People with a gastrostomy often receive crushed oral drugs through the tube. Some medicines should never be crushed that way.
Records covered hundreds of outpatients over two years. About one fifth of oral prescriptions involved delivery errors. Most problem medicines had a suitable substitute form available. Patients with errors needed tube replacement for clogging more often. One common stomach drug carried the highest risk. The study gives pharmacies clear targets for safer home feeding care.
