CARISOPRODOL vs METHOCARBAMOL

Just found Pancrealipase St! I also unabashedly call every “Soma” store carisoprodol and profess it as part of the holy trinity. Any one else have some hilarious “Pharmacy in Real Life” pictures/stories?

So currently I work in a Massachusetts town with lot of MDs somehow. I see an MD prescribing his wife controlled substance (Carisoprodol) and it has been dispensed six times before (Husband was the prescriber) but during covid-19 state of emergency. should I refuse because I don’t feel this is right

I'm a new graduate working for a retail company. A few weeks ago we had a meeting about dispensing narcotics in general. One of the pharmacists there mentioned that some DEA officers audited his store. While there they mentioned that the combination of narcotic pain releaver, Soma (carisoprodol), an

Lexi gives no source, Micro only cites a PI, and I may have only found one source on PubMed possibly suggesting possible hemolysis.

I work with another pharmacist that refuses to make any substitutions at all.

Am I too liberal with my license to just ch

One of my newer techs was having problems with a drug and it really wasn't cooperating with her. I asked her what drug it was and it was methocarbamol. I laughed and said "guess it just doesn't want you to relax" Unfortunately the technician was new and didn't know what it was for and didn't under

I'm a tech working for CVS pharmacy. Since I started in January of this year, I've gotten varying answers from my pharmacists. The PIC has always claimed Texas law does not allow it and we can not do it under any circumstances. A new prescription from the doctor is required. On the other hand, the
