    endorsing an extemporaneous prescription?

    Hi please can someone help me with this question for my NVQ level 3 course in dispensing.
    If I was dispensing a prescription for clobetasone ointment 25% with white soft paraffin 300g, how would I endorse the prescription?
    I know I would endorse it ED to claim the additional fee but what else do I endorse? The complete pack sizes and claim broken bulk or special container? Or would I endorse 75g ex 100g eumovate cream, 225g ex 500g white soft paraffin?
    Can someone please tell me exactly how I would endorse it?

    (ha ha)

    Seriously though
    75g ex 100g eumovate cream (or do you really mean ointment!)
    225g ex 500g white soft paraffin

    WSP is cat M so you can claim broken bulk
    Clobetasone is cat C so you can claim broken bulk


    Extemporaneously
    Dispensed
    To claim an extemporaneously dispensed fee. Not needed for Category E
    preparations in Part VIII of the Tariff.
    Prescriptions for extemporaneously dispensed products should also be
    fully endorsed with details of the ingredients used to make up the
    product.
    Drug Tariff
    Part IIIA 2A

    Thankyou for your reply. Yes sorry I meant 'eumovate ointment' my minds being blown away by too much studying.
    Youve made it all alot clearer now! I was getting a bit confused by the different catagories and what they meant. Thanks also for the link.

    One point - you need not claim broken bulk as the 100g is a special container.
    Where am I?; In the Pharmacy.
    Who are you?; The new Number 2.
    Who is number 1?; You are number 6.
    What do you want?;..................
