    PFD Monitor interpretation

    Failure to ensure awareness of medication dangers when ingested by others

    Wider context from the report

    “(1) The medication was not secured, and was prescribed in sufficient quantity for a fatal dose to be taken by a user un-used to this medication. (bottle 420ml) (2) the person to whom was prescribed appeared to be unaware of the dangers of this medication, when taken by another in large quantities. (3) Consideration should be given to the appropriateness of prescribing to an individual who is not able or prepared to keep the medication safe and secure, or is not aware of the dangers of ingestion, (deliberate or otherwise), for others. If this means daily prescription, the balance of inconvenience versus the safety of others should be carefully weighed on an individual basis, and evidence recorded in this regard. ”
