ALBUTEROL vs FLUTICASONE PROPIONATE

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

Since my allergies just started up again I thought I’d share the word. I’m consistently grateful for Costco saving me a ton of money on these two specific things. **Name brand Claritin:** 100 pills for $9.29 at CVS. Cost per year, $33.91 Cheapest generic Claritin other than Costco: Equate Loratadin

What's up guys? I contemplated posting this for a number of reasons but I think if sharing my experience can help one guy see a better way then it's worth it. Anyone that knows me knows I'm an extremist, and would do anything to be the best that I can be. I've taken every known drug that I could get

Hello lovely people, I recently stumbled across an absolutely delicious keto white bread. It tastes like normal white bread - it’s slightly sweet but savoury at the same time, making it perfect for sweet spreads *and* for lunch or dinner sandwiches. It’s everything I want in a bread: it’s soft, it’s

⚠️ **DISCLAIMER:** Since making this post, I've learned some new information that has changed my perception and usage of the term "fungal-safe". I've shared about this at length in my post ["Fungal-safe" skincare: unscientific BS?](https://reddit.com/r/IndianSkincareAddicts/s/IxvbUdN1jv) The TLDR of

Korean researchers have uncovered compelling evidence that oral bacteria, once colonized in the gut, can affect neurons in the brain and potentially trigger Parkinson's disease.

I'm just a layperson. Flonase went over the counter here in the US a few weeks ago, but the generic versions still require a prescription. Does anyone know if the generic manufacturers of the drug are trying to get FDC approval to take their products OTC? The lag between when brand name and gener
