Pharmacy :: Best Practice
- Pharmacist needs to be on the team to direct the pharmacy.
- Never distribute outdated medications or previously prescribed medications.
- Counsel patients on the potential side effects.
- Give clear administration directions appropriate for the patient.
- Know patient's drug allergies, medication interactions and pregnancy status.
- Dose medications closely especially for pediatric patients.
- Use medication labels in the local language and/or symbols.
- Discuss with medical examiners prior to the clinic how chronic illnesses (diabetes, hypertension) will be treated - health education/life style changes vs. medication with the possibility of no further medical intervention.
- Learn alternative ways to treat conditions when medications are not available (i.e. oral rehydration solution, vinegar douche, peroxide for ear wax removal, etc.)
