Stupid OTC medication errors I have done to myself.
1) I took my dogs rimadyl tablet.
2) Half the time when I have a minor headache and "think" to take some acetaminophen, 20 minutes later I think, "Did I take some acetaminophen or did I just think about taking some?"
3) I have OTC eye drops for itchy eyes, allergy relief. Have had them for over a year. I was complaining that I could only take them once a day yet my eyes would itch throughout the day. So I finally re-read the instructions....take 2 drops 4 times a day!
4) A nurse friend with twin boys who were getting ear and eye drops. Yep, you guessed it, put the ear drops in their eyes!
5) Not a medication, but I had transferred some shampoo and hair gel to different bottles. Got them mixed up. Three times in a row I was putting shampoo in my hair and blow drying it, thinking I was putting in hair gel!
