ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for verifying prescription transaction dosages can be provided according to embodiments of the invention. According to one example embodiment, a method for dosage error verification may be provided. The method may include executing computer program instructions by one or more processors for receiving a prescription transaction including a submitted drug product and a submitted strength of the submitted drug product; comparing the submitted drug product and the submitted strength to dosage error data residing in a dosage error database; determining that the submitted drug product is a member of at least one dosage error pair indicated by the dosage error data; determining that the submitted strength is potentially incorrect based at least in part on strengths indicated by the at least one dosage error pair; and performing an edit action based at least in part on the determination that the submitted strength is potentially incorrect.
