Hey guys, I have started my training at a local pharmacy a week ago. and i have got some concerns and would like to hear your opinions;
1- Destructing of CD drugs, which one does need to be witnessed from an authorizing officer? the ones from the pharmacy stock or the returned CD drugs from patients? or both? I am asking about what is LEGALLY REQUIRED.
2- when supplying a CD product, is it LEGALLY REQUIRED to ask for the patient ID( even if you know him) or its just GOOD PRACTICE?
3- i noticed some drugs we dispense as complete packs ie 2 packs of 30 tablets even that the Rx says 56 tablets. a)which drugs are dispensed in this way? b)how do we know or we just have to learn them? c)plus the reason behind providing some extra tablets please?
4- how many of you use electronic CD registering system? pharmacy i work at does not use an electronic version but i used a similar one at university few weeks ago while sitting for my dispensing module exam.
does it make things easier ie automatic balancing of methadone calculations? does it has the option to modify spelling errors or quantity registering errors?
5- who should I contact to learn more about ECLIPSE programe electronic registering and electronic prescription dispensing. Any links or advices if you used this tool? If not what dispensing tool do you guys use.
thank you for reading, I hope you read it all to enlighten me.
