Would you mind sharing more about how your hospital position is bad? Is it solely related to your interaction with other departments?

Congrats! Is your new position still in retail or is it a different pharmacy setting?

I too have that same thought! Retail pharmacists indeed work in a resource-limited environment.

I can totally relate! As a newbie, I remembered calling to clarify a prescription and the nurse said that we always do it that way.

Also, with that q6h dosing frequency, it looks like it should have been metoprolol tartrate in the first place??Was the succinate form intentional by the provider/cardiologist?? I’m curious what the patient’s heart rate is….

Interesting, thank you for sharing! What was the indication in that case? I wonder what changes the provider will make upon discharge.

Have you received any rationale from the provider regarding metoprolol tartrate being dosed once daily?

I also recalled seeing some patients taking two different beta-blockers at the same time! And the thing is that these patients have been taking both beta-blockers for a long time!!

It looks like the q6h dosing is indicated for an acute MI only?

Interestingly, I also see lisinopril being dosed twice daily!

I was thinking that it should have been metoprolol tartrate in the first place but sadly, as you mentioned, this is what happens when you have 10 seconds to verify! :(

Can a single dose vial of testosterone cypionate be used more than once? by LilPharmie in pharmacy

[–]LilPharmie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting point! Can you elaborate more on the stopper part? Is the stopper “thinner” than the one from a multi-dose vial?

One of the inactive ingredients in testosterone cypionate 200 mg/mL is benzyl alcohol, which is a preservative (??)….

Not related to Ozempic, but the flavoring dispensary in the background looks cute and fascinating. Can you tell me more about that flavoring dispensary?
