The Most Confusing Prescription Ever Explained by a Pharmacist
it’s time to play again what’s wrong with this prescription and then to my hipop police there is no patient information so let’s see what the doctor ordered okay so this looks like for tusx which.
if you don’t know this is hydrocodone with chlorphenamine this is FDA proof for like cough or allergies but I have no idea how much this doctor wants us to give I want to say maybe 3 oz for sure this doctor is getting a call because I have no idea what the quantity I’m giving this patient and now these directions oh boy it looks like.
one PRN so as needed that looks like a q so every and then 8 hours and then I’m guessing that just says cough I’m going to give you guys a tip on prescribing 101 especially for my Med students and nurse practitioner and Pa students.
if you are writing a prescription for a liquid medication you have to say how much the patient needs to take because one is not a liquid amount and most likely the patient would just take the whole bottle oh and how thoughtful it looks like the doctor gave the patient on a refill on a control C2 medication.
which is legally not allowed so many red flags also unless their DEA numbers up there we can’t even fill this prescription I will say if this is a fake prescription it’s a good one because it does have a diagnosis code the j20.9 which is for acute bronchitis.
