How do you guys handle beers’ list issues in retail? My chain has now made it a hard-stop contraindication and our general guidelines for those are that we have to document that we spoke to the provider and discuss the issue. The problem is the majority of these are for acute conditions, promethazin
Today I was counseling a customer on Indomethacin and when I was done I asked him if he had any questions. He did but because of his accent when I asked if there were any reactions I heard he say “Any erections?”
Has any pharmacist seen such an indication for indomethacin? So it looks like this is used for headaches associated with sexual activity? But the most common side effect of indomethacin is headache! ​
I have a patient who is continuing on a compounded medication of dihydroergotamine 10 mg, indomethacin 50mg, metoclopramide 10mg, and caffeine 30mg. Has anyone heard of this combination or know anymore about it? Not even sure where to start writing this or anything.
I work at an educational institution. Today, I made an indomethacin (placebo) 5mg/mL suspension using placebo powder, sucrose, methylcellulose, and purified water. I thought suspending agent like methylcellulose is going to slow down sedimentation of the placebo powder, but I never expected to see s

I am absolutely going to scream! I had a vacation recently with friends where on the last day my meloxicam got packed into the bag, was unreachable and I hit a flareup mid morning. Not proud of it but I had a meltdown at some point because everything was too much and they wanted to discuss everythin
My pain doctor increased my hydrocodone from 3 a day to 4 a day. My pharmacist refused to fill the prescription. The prescription was sent to them on 10/6. They didn’t fill it. So my Dr sent it again on 10/22. Now I have 2 pills left, and the pharmacist said he needs the Dr to write out his detail
it be like that.
I had to tag this as funny, in a very sarcastic way. Talk about feeling unseen. I am on meloxicam, cymbalta and Humira for my RA. Stretching, Epsom salts baths, plant based diet just in case, meditate, starting therapy, limit my caffeine, medical marijuana. I know what I forgot, ibuprofen!
Hey, all. I have chronic pain due to ehlers danlos, fibromyalgia, carpal and ulnar tunnel in both arms, osteoarthritis in my lower back, and what I think are some other issues that haven't been diagnosed. I've had pain for years and have tried everything over the counter as well as Celebrex, Meloxic
After struggling for years with doctors that either don't take me seriously, try stupid solutions that dont work or just help me learn to "cope with it" instead of working on a diagnosis i got a new primary doctor THAT ACTUALLY LISTENS!!!!

Memorial day weekend of 2023 my car got totaled on a drivers side impact, and I've been in excruciating pain ever since. I'v
What’s up with Pain management drs not giving out pain killers to people who actually need it? Not everyone has addictive behaviors! I just had shoulder surgery was given a script of 30 OxyContin 5s that’s it and when I asked surgeon to get it refilled I was told to go to pain management. So I go to
