BENZOYL PEROXIDE vs DOXYCYCLINE

Edit: I am so sorry I didn't respond to everyone in the comments. I didn't think this post would get much attention, so I didn't bother logging back in until after supper, and now I am kinda overwhelmed by all the comments and messages. I cried a little reading them though, I'm sorry my words struck

I thought the phrase 'USE SPARINGLY' meant use like you have a lot to spare... this small misconception has never been an issue for me until the fateful event of last week. I have moderately severe acne on my cheeks and so my dermatologist prescribed me a strong benzoyl peroxide cream. I was so fe

I posted about this last night. I didn't get any responses with helpful information, so I'm reposting the relevant info I gave then below.

Hey all! 11 YO female, 5 ft, 91 pounds. No preexisting health conditions. You may remember me from a month ago. My daughter was the one with severe head and eye pain and super high fevers that were hard to break. Someone told me, in the middle of the night, to take her to the ER. I got flamed becaus

***Update 9/20*** All of his pending tests were negative, the last one we were waiting for was Rocky Mountain spotted fever and it too, was negative. We did follow up labs today though and his WBC dropped in half. At its peak it was 20.5 and now it’s 10.4, well within the limits of normal. The only

Just got done with a bizarre encounter with a patient and since we’ve had issues with this patient in the past, I’m actually wondering if she’s making the whole thing up. Apparently, her doctor specifically told her to **ignore any recommendations or advice from the pharmacist that works at this sp

Hospital pharmacist here, just here to vent as I found this incredibly frustrating and even scary. I was working from home today when my wife had a tele-health visit with her PCP. She’s pending Covid results and often suffers from sinusitis. She’s also allergic to penicillin (true allergy- anaphylax

Sorry for computer screen pixels 😞

What was I thinking?! I’m panicking bc I knew better. I was getting ready to give a COVID vaccine and the pt casually mentions he’s got double pneumonia…. I was like what? I asked did the MD clear him for vaccines and did he have a fever. He said yes then no, in that order and insisted on getting it
