 drug errors
The Migril case was important to pharmacy because it established in law the right of the pharmacist to challenge the Dr and refuse to dispense a script unles changed. Typical daily example is paracetamol in very young infants.
Last case I had was Dr prescribing Tramacet 3 x four times a day. On phoning she said as paracetamol content reduced she had increased dose to equivalent of 2 x four times a day standard paracetamol.
I said high dose probably off licence so she reduced and said next time would prescribe separately.
