ALBUTEROL vs DUPILUMAB

I am a floater, but I have a set schedule. Yesterday I worked with a staff pharmacist (also their set schedule). This person went out of their way to email the DM to say I wrote my own prescription for a spacer. I didn’t use my own license as the prescriber. It was not for me or my family. The ger

I know there's been a lot of people pushing for pharmacists/doctors to give Narcan to any patient on ER/LA opioids. Just wanted to share what recently happened to one of my patients. Pt is 86yo, has been on oxycodone ER 20mg q12h for 5 or 6 years. Rare use of IR - she'll take an oc/apap 5/325 on

I was in Minneapolis on a work trip by myself and went to a hotel/rooftop bar to get a couple drinks and watch the sunset. I had 2 drinks in total (confirmed with my banks and credit card companies) and completely blacked out roughly 30 minutes later. I woke up in the ER and told the staff I only ha

A lady came into my chain pharmacy tonight to refill one of her kid's Proair inhaler. The profile wasn't from this store so I had to pull it from another store. When I pulled the script, it was written wrong (Rph from that store verified it as 8 grams instead of 8.5 grams), so I told her I had to fi

Hey r/pharmacy \- Dr. Jeff Bullock, PharmD here. I spent years behind the counter before pivoting to tech. Built a browser game called PHARMAGEDDON about surviving 10 pharmacy shifts. It has: \- 26 real medications with accurate dosing \- Insurance denials (yes, albuterol prior auth is in there) \

Hello. My husband is a 37 year old uninsured male who went to the ER today for a fever that has been pretty high for about a week. There, they administered a flu test (negative) and took x-rays and determined that he has an antibiotic-resistant form of pneumonia in his right lung and a bacterial inf

Every flu season each patient with an URI gets a Z-pack, Tamiflu, albuterol, and if they are feeling fancy, some oral roids. This year, azithromycin is no longer flying off the shelves. How the heck are all these sick people recovering from their colds without their yearly z-pack? Are they just dyin

My daughter is 8 years old. She has asthma and Celiac, so I feel she just doesn't have any immunity. She is on day 10 of 105° and higher fevers, her O2 is hanging out around 87-94%. After 4 puffs of Albuterol and 2 of Flovent she goes up to 94-96%. 4 days ago after 2 ER visits, our pediatrician did

First albuterol nebs, now Duonebs and ipratopium. We are also critically low on levalbuterol. This shouldn't happen. Yet, it seems to way too frequently.

I’m 38 female with extensive health history I will list at bottom. My right foot is in extreme pain and bruised. My 2 little toes are purple- I don’t mean to be dramatic, but I’m a little worried I might lose a toe at this rate. My question is: what department do I even belong in? Picture: https:/

Do people go to McDonalds and question the employee why a mcdouble costs 1 dollar? Why do they do it at the pharmacy 24/7? Example lady comes in and says why is the albuterol 30 dollars? I've never paid that much Me: you have been paying 30 dollars since january She doesnt say anything. Do they ask

disclaimer: eczema is a very individual disease with different causes and triggers for every person. what works for me might not work for you and what didn’t work for me might work for you. just keep that in mind! though i do encourage trying out different things that are not steroids or medical pre

A few years ago, my eczema was severe. I had open weeping wounds all over my body, skin shedding 24/7, no eyebrows, peeling scalp, everything you can imagine. I barely looked human. I'm now 95% normal. I have plenty of scars and hyperpigmentation as a reminder, but aside from random inflammation, I'

So long story short… Big fat eczema flare up. Huge. Spreads over my hands and down my legs. Bleeding when I walk. All over face and chest and cannot leave the house. Call GP, crying my eyes out. Say I’m on the verge of killing myself. Please help me. GP : no, no. Stop crying. STOP CRYING. You won’

I think I honestly just want to rant and talk to some like minded people, maybe those that lead somewhat of a normal life (working, relationships, social interaction) I've suffered severe atopic dermatitis since I was 13, by the time I was 16 it covered every inch of my body and face, during a time

Had severe eczema my entire life (along with severe asthma, yay, severe allergies, yay). Remember back in 2017ish posts about Dupilumab on this forum (and others) from people in the US who were part of the trial saying it was a game changer, as good as steroids (orally, not creams). It got me excite
