Just got a call at 10:00pm to fill a script with 3 problems.
First of all it was written as lortab 10/650 liquid when the concentration should be 7.5/500 and written as 20ml per peg q4h. That had to be confirmed with the doctor. Of course, theres a problem with the doctor. The md signature is scribbled and theres no identifying info such as a letterhead, dea, npi, nada. Only the address of the hospital was on the letter head. Then there was no quantity.
I work in a long-term care pharmacy and we get narc scripts like these about once a week. I know this is a common occurence in retail but what are your pet peeves with rx's. For me its the above but good thing it doesn't happen often.
