Points for Consideration by the Pharmacist

• Precautions are critical. This includes possible interactions with foods, beverages, drugs, or restricted activities.
• Provide written information about the drug(s) dispensed and the patient's disorder (if available).
• Clarify how best to store the medicine. Tell them about refrigeration, and avoiding the humidity of a medicine chest. If a non-childproof lid is dispensed, remind them to keep the drug out of reach whenever children are visiting.
• Remind the patient that nonprescription (over-the-counter) drugs can interact with prescription drugs. Encourage them to call your pharmacy or their physician before combining any medicines.
• Always take a good medication history. Be certain to ask about any herbal remedies or megavitamins the patient may take. Encourage the patient to ask questions at the time of dispensing and later-whenever the need arises.

Suggestions for Containing the Casts of Drug Therapy

• As judgment dictates, fill the prescription with the most reasonably priced drug available-within legally possible and appropriate guidelines. Consult with the prescribing physician regarding generic substitution when feasible.
• If the patient is taking other drugs (prescribed by other physicians), look for drug duplications. Offer "brown bag sessions" where patients can bring in all their medicines and get your help regarding possible problems.
