Years ago in 20211 at Walgreens on snelling Street and Randolph st. Mess up on my medicine 💊 by putting the doctor name as patient and my name as a doctor name. I was mad and scared after a guy who had a brain 🧠 injury and had a pain medicine in his name. Police arrest him. They fixed mine right away.
When I write a prescription the printed label states PBR before my name and not my professional degree. Why is that? How could I correct it? Who I need to contact for correction? Thanks
Most medication doses are not. In pediatrics, it's often based on weight but until that dose is basically the same as adult dose - in other words, you don't just keep scaling up indefinitely. Some medication you still need to do it based on weight or by body surface area (BSA). Vaccines don't need to be. Vaccines do not have a simple pharmacological response. Some vaccines are dose adjusted based on if the patient is a child or an adult per there is no good evidence that doing strict per weight dose is advantageous.
No, that's complete nonsense. I am a doctor and I've even heard of such a thing. What would be the point? We don't get paid based on the volume of a medication dispensed. I pretty much always prescribed based on standardized doses and the only times i really change the doses from the normal dose is if there is a drug on drug interaction that necessitates dose changes or if the patient has kidney disease and has reduced clearance.
That’s exactly what I was thinking before but eventually I understood the importance of this slow moving but accurate system. We need the patient friendly system not the pharmacist friendly. If dementia patient with other complications is taking more than 10 medications a day how can he or she manage to take pills from individual blisters? Many chances noncompliance and error. So we used to make personalized blister packs to help patient the best possible way. 😊
@@rxlife3544 a dementia patient should not be living on their own in the first place, let alone taking their own pills. This must be a cultural thing because I’ve noticed a lot of 80+ year olds in America live on their own with no one to take care of them
It takes at least an hour and for my pharmacy (2-3 days) whether or not they have to count anything. For instance, insulin. Rather than just entering in the prescription, pulling it out of the fridge and throwing a label on it, they delay excessively! This is even when a patient is paying cash only. Many pharmacies are just working in snail mode but ok.
Thank God for pharmacists and pharmacist technicians. Watchful angels they are ...
Proud to be a pharmacist..from india
Huge fan of Indian medication thank you for your work.
You are making a postive difference.
thank you for the information. splended

This was helpful but pharmacist overlap doesn't happen enough in the retail world.

In germany a pharmacy tech compounds too. I'm a pharmacy tech and we do a lot in germany. Pharmacists here can't do anything in the lab properly tbh
How does a pharmacist know if they have a fake script or not if the dea # matches ?

Timeline 4:52 states medication dose is based on patient’s weight. Why is this science not applicable for Vaccines?

Do you think that doctors alter dosage on medicine so the pills can finish faster in order for the patients to buy medicines at a faster rate?
My doctor doesn’t.

According to what has come to the surface , the medical proffessionals are by no means squeaky clean. There might be few but they are there.
The only safety is to never consume this poison. Get responsible for your own health.

Lol. such an inefficient system. Copy from the rest of the world. Use the blister pack.
We do for some medication. Bottle the medication doesnt really take much of an effort - its everything else that goes into the process
