Ok so this question if available from the California board....the answer to this question is C ....and for the life of me I cannot understand why the answer choice would not be A...HELP!!

A pharmacist is verifying a prescription filled by a technician. The label reads:

John Doe
Invirase 200 mg
Take 6 capsules by mouth twice daily with
Norvir.

The pharmacist checks the written prescription and
it reads:

Saquinavir 200 mg soft gel capsules

VI p.o. b.i.d. with Norvir

The pharmacist should
A. dispense as filled.
B. change the dose.
C. change the drug.
D. change the dosing interval.

Saquinavir soft gel capsule = Fortovase ( discontinued)
Saquinavir capsule (hard gel) = Invirase
Per Wikipedia Soft gel capsule formulation has 8 fold active drug than hard gel capsule.

The question is super old when Fortovase was still available.
Just my guess.
Hope it helps.
