Override medications in a hospital refer to which concept?

A harmless drug administered without delay

Dangerous drug to be administered prior to pharmacist review

Override medications are high‑risk drugs for which the usual safety checks can be bypassed in urgent situations to avoid delaying essential treatment. The idea is that clinicians may administer these medications before a pharmacist reviews the order, with the understanding that a pharmacist will verify and address any concerns as soon as possible after administration. This approach balances the need for rapid, life-saving care with the safety oversight that still follows. It’s not about harmless drugs, it’s not about requiring sign-off before giving the drug, and it’s not about skipping review altogether.
