Patients often do not reliably know their own medications other than to describe them or show an unpackaged tablet. Prescribing safety is paramount to ensuring patient safety and reducing the risk of adverse drug reactions. This study shows that even experienced clinicians do not recognise the medications they regularly prescribe, and decisions should not be made without accurate medication reconciliation.
