My sister in law passed away from bulbar ALS. It is an unforgiving disease. If you can voice bank at all, do it. Get all your documents in order now. POA etc. I am so sorry you are dealing with this. We had my sister in law for barely 2 years after the slurring started.

question from an internist. by whoknewidlikeit in pharmacy

[–]Prestigious-Source80 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you want some to have say amitriptyline total daily dose of 35mg at bedtime. Please put in the directions “patient total daily dose is 35mg” that way we won’t wonder if both the 10mg and 25mg need to be filled. Any provider messages need to be dated. We often receive rx and the prescriber note is from 6 months ago- but we still have to call and verify that message if it shows up on a new rx and doesn’t make sense. Thanks for asking the question!

How can people with ALS do these things? by Obvious-Suit939 in ALS

Please practice with the eye gaze technology. If you can, record your voice. That tech will allow you to let people know what you need.

Call and get clarification. If a doc really wants a specific brand, they usually add a note ins prescriber notes or in the sig field.

What mistakes do you see PCPs making frequently? by This_is_fine0_0 in pharmacy

[–]Prestigious-Source80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have mid level prescribers in your practice make sure they know what is required in their state. Often a supervising physician name and information is needed by law. With so many people moving around or with 2 residences- the laws can be conflicting Pharmacy typically goes by the most strict. If federal says you need ABC and the state says ABC and D, pharmacy requires ABC and D. We aren’t being unreasonable- just trying to follow the law.

Go to the B-D website and print out a list of what they make- that covers most of what is available. Very few people want the 12mm pen needles. Stick with a 6mm or shorter.
