    (John Wiley & Sons, 2023) Mamunuwa, N.; Jayamanne, S.; Wijekoon, N.; Coombes, J.; Perera, D.; Shanika, T.; Mohamed, F.; Lynch, C.; de Silva, A.; Dawson, A.
    Confusion of drug names has been identified as a leading cause of medication errors and potential iatrogenic harm. Most of these errors occur because of look-alike or sound-alike drugs. This case series gives examples of duplication errors due to brand confusion, where there are no similarities in the names.
