No don't remove it yet. But it proves that it is sometimes worth reading these posts!

IV meds
I also use a marker to write on the syringe what the med is. You can't take it back once you put it in.
ALWAYS triple check.

We have scanning on the floor and it's awesome. For the past 3 years I've been working in medical imaging and we don't have scanners. Our medication inventory is Versed, Fentanyl, Lopressor, and Demerol and therefore we have a much smaller chance of picking up the wrong medication when we get it out of our pyxis but ever aware that it could happen I still do check the bottle several times as well as the expiration date. I also always look for the words "single use vial" on the bottle. Pharmacy could accidently fill it with a multi-dose vial. I agree, you can never be too careful when it comes to medications.
