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

Hey guys, So I'd known for a long time that using a spacer with MDIs help improve medication delivery to the lungs, but today I learned how dramatic the effects are. Thought this would be worth sharing with y'all since these details might not be common knowledge. Maybe it'll come in handy sometime.

It all started with nasal drip that turned into a Cold back in October and fast forward now here I am. My primary doctor said the reason why I may not be healing from the cold is due my asthma. After a few weeks of no signs of improvement I went to Urgent care. Urgent care doctor then said I have as
I was diagnosed with allergy asthma today and my dr gave me this one as my everyday inhaler. Anyone have any experience with this one?
All of the verbiage/contents look the same, but has anyone started with AdVair, and been switched to Wixela? Does it feel/work the same? I have new insurance, and during my annual today my doctor put in the 1 year prescription (we discussed that I was currently taking Advair), and when I brought it
Hi Reddit, I am writing this post in hoping that someone here might have insights or suggestions. I am 25 years old, fit (I play football semi-professional), and have been dealing with asthma symptoms for the past three years. Despite seeing multiple doctors and trying a wide range of treatments, my
