Hello, I am Allison, a registered Pharmacy Technician. How can I help you today? I am waiting for my prescription to be finished, the pharmacy said it would be done soon. I can grab it for you in one moment, could you tell me your name and address? Sure, it is Stan and I live at 394 Talbot Street. Perfect, here is your prescription you were asking for. Are you a regular customer here Stan? I am starting to be, I moved here a few months back. Has your profile been updated on our system, with allergies and other prescriptions? Yes, I did all that last time I was in, they said it was important information. I was wondering what was in this Ratio-Oxycocet drug, and how it helps me, my doctor briefly explained it but I still want to know more. …show more content…
Some people can become dependent on these medications, but Stan’s lifestyle doesn’t seem to be an issue, as he has not been dependent on anything before, including things such as cigarettes or alcohol and is otherwise known to be healthy and have no allergies. Between checkups with his doctor, and the time between fills, the pharmacy team should be able to monitor and ensure safety using this product. This drug can have the possibility to affect driving of machinery, but the most common side effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, which can be relieved usually by lying down. There can be things such as constipation, mood changes and euphoria as well. The pharmacist also explained that he can consult his doctor if he experiences side effects to see what they think, whether it be changing medications or so …show more content…
Okay, I will wait. Is it all right to bring you back into the counselling room? He has some things to tell you about the drug you should know. Of course it is, thank you for asking. (He says that because Stan is on Ratio-Oxycocet, he should not take both that and Lenoltec 1 at the same time, as there are drug interactions including the 8mg codeine as well as the acetaminophen in Lenoltec 1. The codeine can increase seizures from occurring when combined with Ratio-Oxycocet, and there is 300mg acetaminophen in Lenoltec 1 as well, which would double a patient’s dose of it, which could become toxic to a body. They are in the same drug classes as the Ratio-Oxycocet as well, being antipyretics and analgesics. The indication for use is similar, as it is used to relieve mild to moderate pain. Contraindications include sensitivity to the active drugs, bowel obstructions, respiratory issues such as bronchial asthma, alcoholism, depression etc. Warnings include addiction, misuse and tampering before consumption resulting in life threatening events. Side effects are like those of opioid analgesics, such as drowsiness, light-headedness, dizziness, sedation, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting which can be reduced if patient lays
Adverse reactions to drugs are common and almost any drug can cause an adverse reaction.
My Butler University academic training and intern experience has positioned me to recognize and appreciate the essential role performed by the clinical pharmacist. Although sometimes transparent, it is the clinical pharmacist that is central to a patient’s ultimate successful recovery. This was evident during my clinical rotations, where I directly participated in the optimization of medication therapy to achieve patient-specific outcomes; it is for this reason I am impassioned and compelled to pursue a residency. As a PGY-1 resident, I plan to apply my clinical knowledge in the acute and ambulatory care settings to identify medication-related problems and make therapeutic recommendations in collaboration with other practitioners.

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Brandon Brumley, a pharmacist practicing at Right Choice Pharmacy.
Over the past few weeks I have been researching my interests, values, and goals. Throughout this research a lot of things that were already evident to me, were proven for a fact. My interests included researching different aspects of science and data analysis. Analysis has always been a big part of my life because I analyze everything. My values have been proven to be centered toward helping people and being around people. These interests and values are almost equivalent with what my goals in life have been over the past years. For the past few years I have wanted to become some type of pharmacist or physician. In this paper, I have researched what being a pharmacist and physician
The career that I am interested in pursuing is a Pharmacists. The number one reason I have decided to become a pharmacist is because I want to help and assist others. The satisfaction of me helping a patient get better quickly is the motivation that drives me. The second reason is the act of working with other health care professionals. Pharmacist have to communicate with other professionals as a team to avoid errors. Communication and connection is a major key in today’s society, in which I like with a passion. The big career dream began when my older cousin sister became the first in the family to graduate from college with a college degree. Her getting a well-paying job and taking care of my aunt and uncle led me to work hard and achieve pharmacy just like her. HCC will help me pursue my goals by helping me get high grades and achieve a high GPA. By me getting an Associates in Science I would then transfer to a big university like University of Houston to continue for higher education.
Today in the 21st century the roles of pharmacist have expanded tremendously. Before pharmacist had the role of solely dispensing drugs. Pharmacists were limited to only being regulatory or clinical pharmacist. Back then they were called medical purveyors who were much like today’s regulatory pharmacist and hospital pharmacist who are similar to hospital pharmacist. Now pharmacists carry many roles in healthcare. Pharmacist can play roles in public health, community, health systems, state, and federal government.
The flow of the medical community is dependent on every person employed there. The harmony it creates does not only come from the doctors or nurses, but the janitors, surgeons, receptionists, and even the pharmacists. Each job is necessary in order for the hospitals to function properly; for instance, the doctors diagnose the patient with their illness, prescribe them medication to cure it, and send them to the pharmacist, who then gives them their medication and sends them home. However, some jobs are overlooked more than others and do not receive the proper credit, like the pharmacist. Pharmacists are recognized for dispensing and sorting drugs, but their jobs help educate patients over their prescription and uphold the
