Abstract
Dispensing error (DE) is the medication error which normally occurred at pharmacy
site or service before medications supply or administer to patients. Findings from DE
study are used as indicator to determine the quality of the drug supply from drug
distribution system of the pharmacy services. DE should be avoided because it may
affect patient’s health status complications and prolong hospital stay. Penang
