CLINDAMYCIN IN 5 PERCENT DEXTROSE vs CLINDAMYCIN PHOSPHATE TOPICAL SOLUTION USP

Here's the deal. Patient fills medication that costs the pharmacy about $5. Plan pays $48 with a copay of $3. Pharmacy is pleased with an unusually high dispensing fee. A statement comes at the end of the month from the insurer. “Sorry, we overpayed”. And they take back $42. After all is done

I’m curious if this is a nationwide thing but here in WA we have switched over from annual to biennial renewals and the DOH has snuck in yet another increase in the annual renewal rate— now charging over 500 dollars for a 2 year renewal period (that’s without a late fee!) Am I taking crazy pills? Di

Personally, I loved Cerner & Powerchart, but it doesn't seem like many people do. We had an extremely optimized Cerner with proper IT to build ordersets. I miss being able to do whatever the fuck I wanted with an order and Powerchart. I'm currently working with a base model of Epic with hardly a

I had no issues prior to it, now I have a constant neuropathic pain (from a damaged or entrapped nerve Idk yet) in

Pic related. We have steadily gotten 2-3 bottles of this lame ass drug that literally nobody asked for every day for about a month now.

Hi, I (20F) have never posted on Reddit before so I apologize if I’m not following proper reddiquette. I am also sorry for the extremely long post. To be honest, this is a last ditch desperation effort. To preface, I know that these symptoms may not necessarily seem all that dire, however I have alw

Hey pharmacy friends! Emergency medicine doc here - had a question about lidocaine. Where I trained, we used a 4% lidocaine hcl "topical solution" which we used with a mucosal atomizer to spray the oropharynx and airway structures for awake topicalized intubations.
