  • Objective To examine the dose measurement methods of popular oral liquid OTC TCM, and to evaluate the recognition accuracy of patient. Methods The types and features of oral liquid measurement methods provided with packages obtained from hospital pharmacies were recorded and outpatients were selected randomly to assess the accuracy rate of dose measuring. Results Of the 45 oral liquid OTC TCM multiple-dosage package products, only 11(24%) provided a dosing cup with package, 31(69%) provided mark on bottles, 3(6.7%) provided none of them. 49(94%) outpatients could measure accurately using dosing cup while resulted in wrong dosage by the mark on bottles because of variable marked volume. Conclusion Results suggest that dosing measurement variability presented a challenge to patient operation, which might result in a medication dosing error, whereas pharmacists should strive to provide understandable care information to promote proper medication use.

Abstract: Objective To examine the dose measurement methods of popular oral liquid OTC TCM, and to evaluate the recognition accuracy of patient. Methods The types and features of oral liquid measurement methods provided with packages obtained from hospital pharmacies were recorded and outpatients were selected randomly to assess the accuracy rate of dose measuring. Results Of the 45 oral liquid OTC TCM multiple-dosage package products, only 11(24%) provided a dosing cup with package, 31(69%) provided mark on bottles, 3(6.7%) provided none of them. 49(94%) outpatients could measure accurately using dosing cup while resulted in wrong dosage by the mark on bottles because of variable marked volume. Conclusion Results suggest that dosing measurement variability presented a challenge to patient operation, which might result in a medication dosing error, whereas pharmacists should strive to provide understandable care information to promote proper medication use.
