 Re: mistakes in prescriptions!!
This is a good one, again from my hospital days.....
A guy had hypertension, and his GP prescribed captopril - ACE inhibitor
The captopril gave him a dry tickly cough - well known side effect
The GP prescribed him amoxicillin for the cough
The amoxicillin gave him severe diarhhoea
He became really dehydrated
He ended up in the hospital on a drip
The consultant stopped the amoxicillin, changed the captopril and he went home happy!
Waste of NHS funds or what!
