I Bet It Feels Good As A Consumer To Know Pharmacies Have Powerful Prescription Checking Software.
Programs that can almost instantly pull up any potential problems with your prescription. Drug interactions, dosage problems, possible misuse, you know, that kind of thing.

I'm interested in the spell checking software because having "amoxacillin" on my prescription is NOT confidence inspiring.
I got a prescription written by an MD one day that was written for "eye-byu-proof-een", dashes and everything. We photocopied it (minus the pt's name/info) and posted it in the pharmacy because it made us laugh so hard. I forgot about it until just now.
I've seen this kind of crap before. I don't understand how it happens. A piece of me dies everytime I see this crap happen.
A phone call from a Dentist office,
PVK 500 M (em) G (gie)
one PO uhm...-long pause- kwid...
I asked, "what do you mean Kwid?"
The dentist office personale said..
"It said Kweed..."
.....Oh, my....
You guys know what it can be, huh?
"PVK 500mg 1 po QID."

Unforgettable rx to me
Did u hear about the 2 CVS stores in Florida that lost their licences? Apparently no time 2 question validity of CII rx's
Sometimes I really wonder what goes on in those offices. I once received a prescription that stated that the patient use an applicator-full per vagina. Once I had a script saying to use ProAir rectally. I don't understand it. I never thought of photocopying them, but I can guarantee you I'll never forget them!
Anonymous...are you a pharmacist? I see per rectum and per vagina all the time. It just means "in the vagina" or "in the rectum". Unless the issue was with the drug itself, which wasn't mentioned.
