  ABSTRACT: Medication errors are Unlike adverse drug reactions (ADRs) or adverse drug events (ADEs); mistakes by healthcare personnel cause them. We reported two cases of developed symptoms of Metoclopramide over-dose. Metoclopramide was given as Paracetamol due to look-a-like packaging. In Emergency Departments, reviewing the patient’s medications to prevent look-a-like complications should be done for all patients with suspected drug toxicity.
