Risk

ISMP flags SSRI/SSI as error-prone: sliding scale regular insulin may be mistaken as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

Safer Alternative

Write "sliding scale insulin" or spell out the antidepressant class fully

Example

SSRI for depression

Source Note

SSRI is a real antidepressant-class abbreviation; ISMP flags it in medication-order contexts because of SSRI/SSI confusion.
