Default Re: Mefenamic Acid Post Surgery

I had a similar situation today whith a script for a 12-year-old cystic fibrosis patient, calling for 800 creon 10.000 capsules, "take 43 caps daily"
YES, that's forty-three caps daily!!!
She actually takes 14 caps in her hand, and just swallows them in one go as though they were popcorn, with a mouthful of water; and this TDS with an extra capsule at lunchtime...
But where on earth do you find out whether this is OK or not?
I remember facing a script for 300mg dosulepin daily, + 40mg diazepam daily and 10 mg haloperidol daily, all for the same patient, on a saturday afternoon...?
