Normally, I avoid using Psuedoephedrine that might worsen the glaucoma, I’d rather prescribe 2nd or 3rd Gen Anti-histamine for her symptoms + Intranasal Decongestant for the quick reliever for 2-3 days+ some Vitamin C … if she can get enough sleep, the viral symptom will recover rapidly.
I get that this video is a demonstration for pharmacy school, but imagine if in the real world we had to counsel on every new prescription like this in a retail pharmacy where you have to verify 500+ scripts and give out 30 shots a day.😂
I don't like the "uhh...umm...." While doing the initial consult. I would have already checked dosing and knowing if they needed a syringe or spoon (based on age). Did not mention refrigerated or not, and shake well before EACH dosing. Allergies and questionable diagnosis based on dosing should have been called on before dispensing. Some of these were noted post-counsel. But there's plenty other things that weren't addressed. It's a mediocre video to display counseling, but also missed some major points.
Oh good god do people in America really have to go through all this just to get a damn medicine? Like thats why we go to the dr no? Just give me my bag of medicines and let me go lol
1) This setting is not in the US, considering they give the child's temp in Celsius. 2) in my experience, we do not have to go through that. Just go up to the counter, ask for meds, receive and pay for meds. Walk out. Sometimes if it's a new med, they will ask if you need a consult, but that is on the customer/patient to decide yes or no
@@HitomiMudo a pharmacist’s job is to give the patient direction on how to use the medication and inform them of the common side effects and whatever information the patient asks for about the medication. If they don’t do this then they’re not doing their job appropriately and it could result in the misuse of the medication.
In the UK, we use the 2WHAM method of questioning a patient: WHO is it for? WHAT are the symptoms? HOW long have they had symptoms? ACTIONS already tried? MEDICINES being taken? OTC or on Rx.... This set of questions has stood me in good stead for the past 25 years, as a pharmacy professional
I was taught this as a dispenser and medicine counter assistant but as a pharmacist I have been taught ASMETHOD (Age, self, medication tried, extra medication they are on, time it has been present/it gets worse, history of problem, other symptoms, danger symptoms) - UK
Hi Dr.Derek, Can we go over interpreting refills on prescriptions when doing transfers? For prescriptions that have been filled and have not been filled?
Thanks for these uploads! Sometimes as a student it's hard to recall all the possible prompts that could satisfy the IESC assessment so this is very helpful!
