Hi everyone. I am a hospital pre-reg with my exam coming up and wondered if I could a check a question with you all. I have been doing a practise paper with the following question:

A. 100 Co-codamol tablets 30/500mg. Two tablets to be taken four times a day
B. 3 x Phenobarbital 30mg tablets. One to be taken at night
C. 16 x Paracetamol 500mg tablets. One to two to be taken up to four times a day
D. 60 x MST 30mg tablets. One to be taken twice daily
E. 32 x Paracetamol 500mg tablets. One to two to be taken up to four times a day

Select from A to E the most appropriate requirements for the supply of the medication above.

47. Can be sold from a pharmacy in the absence of the pharmacist.


My own knowledge tells me that even GSL medicines cannot be sold from a pharmacy if the pharmacist is not in personal control, and I have checked in the MEP and that seems to say the same thing as far as I can tell. The answer to the question is apparently C, but I don't think it is an official RPSGB question so I suppose it could be wrong. I just wanted to check I'm not missing something! Any thoughts?
