Need to vent & reflect to see if I'm in the wrong. I'm a new PharmD grad with fair bit of confidence in osteoporosis (did grad studies) in Ontario. I saw that a 90y F patient on blister pack (C-PAK) has been on risedronate for 7 years so I suggested to MD about taking drug holiday if not high ri

I’m currently a junior in university and throughout my life I’ve always thought I’d wanted to become a pharmacist however, today was my first day training as a pharmacy tech at rite aid and I had the worst day ever.

Credit goes to author on linked site, but stumbled across this mnemonic for remembering B vitamins: “These ribs need paprika. Pile it on boy.

There’s an office near me that often sends over prenatals with names that our eRx system doesn’t recognize as being linked to any particular brand or generic, and finding the appropriate prenatal often proves difficult. For example, this is one we received the other day: > prenatal vitamin no.7-i

So I get the question a fair amount of can a banana bag (MVI, thiamine, folate, mag) be run in with other continuous drips like octreotide, Precedex, etc. I never find stability studies for these drugs at a y-site with the stuff in the banana bag.
