Abstract

The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity has posed significant challenges in healthcare, including medication safety. This review paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of medication errors associated explicitly with overweight and obese patients. The report examines the factors contributing to medication errors in this population, explores the potential consequences, and suggests strategies for preventing and mitigating such errors. By addressing this critical issue, healthcare providers can enhance medication safety and optimise the health outcomes of overweight and obese individuals.
