Tomaahto. Tomayyyto. Same thing, right? Wrong, when it is your prescription we are talking about. If your pharmacist hands over something else because the prescribed drug is not available, do not grab it carelessly. While pharmacists are knowledgeable, their expertise is not a substitute for a doctor's prescription. Do take these quick steps before you buy the alternative meds.

Tragic lessons from a recent inquest have prompted a call for stricter guidelines around #opioid prescriptions. A 65-year-old man, who died after being prescribed #Physeptone and #Stilnox, faced poor #communication between doctors and lack of supervision during his treatment. The coroner highlighted the need for better #coordination between healthcare providers and urged the NSW Ministry of Health to review Physeptone prescription protocols. The Pharmaceutical Regulatory Unit's role was clarified as purely regulatory, not clinical. (Which highlights the need for independent clinical pharmacists such as IMM) It's a reminder of the critical importance of safeguarding patients when dealing with complex medications. (And having the appropriate experts reviewing these matters routinely) This is something that we see very often in Workers Comp and Motor Vehicle claims. Want to avoid this? Refer to Independent Med Management Australian Journal of Pharmacy NSW Health The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP)
