description Wrong medicines as a result of dispensing mistakes result in lack of desired efficacy, occurrence of totally unwarranted, and in some cases disastrous, side-effects. [...]cross-checking the prescribed medicines and re-instructing the patient in using them could be a cost-effective intervention to improve patient care. Cross-checking also brought about increased alertness from chemists, decreasing the number of mistakes in the last 6 months of the study. [...]it is a simple, easy-to-perform but very effective intervention to improve dermatology care.
