Assessment of the Availability and Accuracy of Dosing Devices Packaged with Oral Liquid Medications in the Ho Municipality of Ghana.

Dosing cups and spoons are associated with significant inaccuracy. Yet, manufacturers continually favour them over syringes in packaging for oral liquid medications. This is unacceptable and of considerable concern due to the risk of variations in therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, strict regulatory directives on the inclusion of accurate dosing devices in the packaging of oral liquid medicines are needed to reduce the possibility of medication errors.
