Prescription Drug Risks: What Makes Some Medications Dangerous
are you ready to play what’s wrong with this prescription one of you guys DM me this to review so let’s go through it together for all my hipop police out there there is no patient information so we’re good here.
so let’s see what prescription we’re supposed to be dispensing at the pharmacy today it looks like we had an MS cotton which is the brand for morphine sulfate but it looks like maybe the doctor decided to change their mind and instead prescribe Alprazolam 2 Mig and you know maybe the doctor was just having an off day but.
that is not how you spell Al praam it looks like alpra sisom it’s too migr though which is a high dose so we got to First make sure that the patient has taken it before just to prevent any side effects and then it looks like with the.
dispensing the doctor wanted to do 180 but they may have just changed their mind so now they’re going to do 90 and now let’s look at these directions I want to say it says PRN anxiety three times a day for my non- Pharmacy or medical people PRN actually means as needed but it doesn’t say how many.
tablets the patient’s supposed to be taking so we obviously need to call this doctor what would I actually do if I was a pharmacist receiving this prescription there a lot of red flags with the medication changing from a pain medication.
to an anti-anxiety medication and the fact that alpram spelled wrong personally I would check to see if the patient has been on alpram before and then I’d probably call the doctor just because it’s very strange for them to cross off a medication and write a brand new medication and also spell it.
