**ring...ring** The phone rings again. **ring...ring** You're slammed, and there's three other people that could answer it. **ring...ring** You give in. 'Hello, pharmacy?' 'Hi, this is Britney, can you verify my Tylenol order on 6103?' 'Sure, it will be done shortly.' 'OK, right away!' **click** You

Had a colleague pharmacist inquire about the use of ethanol in pediatric patients, and trying to look into it more myself. For instance, selecting ferrous sulfate supplement drops for a pediatric patient. Are there any guidelines or data that talk about the use of alcohol containing medications for

Keep getting mixed discussion about the right dose of pediatric zofran. One doctor said the dose does not matter and no one overdoses on a 4 mg dose of zofran. Other sources are weight based, 0.15 mg/kg per dose. If there is an outpatient prescription for zofran for, let's say a 10 kg one-year old,

Hello all, I work in EMS (Paramedic) and our state is updating our norepinephrine doses for all of its indications (sepsis, traumatic hemorrhage (I know), post-resuscitative care, anaphylaxis, etc) The previous dosing was 1-30mcg/min for adults, and 0.5-0.1mcg/kg/min for pediatric patients, titratab

I’ve been wanting to write this out and share my story for a while. I finally did. Here’s the very true and very real story: It was February 15th. 2018. The day after Valentine’s Day (which fell on a Thursday.) I was a little depressed during that whole week. But that is beyond the point of this sto

Ten years ago I got a copper IUD inserted. I did it at Planned Parenthood because, at the time, I worked for a school that relied on that bullshit Hobby Lobby stuff to not cover any birth control.

I was curious if anyone working on the hospital side of things would be willing to share any ideas or solutions for managing the lidocaine/epinephrine drug shortage? Currently playing with the idea of compounding the product from stock epinephrine and lidocaine with the intent of packaging and stor
