Pharmacy Girl: I Wish I Was a Drug Rep for Azithromycin
http://pharmdgirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-wish-i-was-drug-rep-for-azithromycin.html
The view from behind the counter. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. I Wish I Was a Drug Rep for Azithromycin. Filled 83 prescriptions the other day. 9 of them were for Zithromax (either a Zpak or Zithromax oral suspension). That means 10.3% of my presription volume was an azalide antibiotic. What about doxycyline, amoxicillin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim? What about fluoroquinolones (except ciprofloxacin, which has little activity against Streptococcus pneumoniae)?

Pharmacy Girl: Flat Co-pays and the Public's Inability to Understand Them
http://pharmdgirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/flat-co-pays-and-publics-inability-to.html
The view from behind the counter. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Flat Co-pays and the Public's Inability to Understand Them. This is the last of my old posts, republished. Anything published from here on out will be new material. Enjoy! He yelled at me, saying that me and my company were screwing him. He hardly let me get a word in edgewise. He kept asking “What about the other 15 capules? After he left, I sat here fuming, wishing I would have said this:. Number two: your doctor’s office. Most doctor...Number ...

Pharmacy Girl: At Least Barristas Get Tips
http://pharmdgirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/at-least-barristas-get-tips.html
The view from behind the counter. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. At Least Barristas Get Tips. This morning I was getting my daily dose of caffeine at Starbucks. I was in line behind 3 or 4 people, but the line was moving along. The barristas were friendly, chatting with customers as they steamed milk for lattes and blended ice and sugar-water for frappuccinos. A woman rushed in, interrupted the transaction of the person that was paying at the register and demanded to know how long the wait was. As with their S...

Pharmacy Girl: You have the power
http://pharmdgirl.blogspot.com/2008/05/you-have-power.html
The view from behind the counter. Wednesday, May 7, 2008. You have the power. If any of you out there are retail pharmacists working for a corporation and hating it, here is a word of advice. You have the power. There is a pharmacist shortage. Quit letting them boss you around, micromanage your vacation time, and undermine your every decision. You are professionals. You deserve to be treated like one. There is a regional manager working for a corporation in my area who recently quit. Why?

Pharmacy Girl: April 2008
http://pharmdgirl.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
The view from behind the counter. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Because of my recent.transition. in employment status, I have a new job. I am working at an independent compounding pharmacy. It's a perfect mix for me: challenging but laid back. My boss crusies on match.com for a while, then makes a geometric dilution for a triiodothyronine aliquot. Today, the tech made Mustargen. I am still afraid of touching chemo agents, but maybe I'm a chicken.). I get to eat lunch. It's like a pharmacy dream. He yelled at ...

Pharmacy Girl: Don't Lie to Your Pharmacist, Part II
http://pharmdgirl.blogspot.com/2008/04/dont-lie-to-your-pharmacist-part-ii.html
The view from behind the counter. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. Don't Lie to Your Pharmacist, Part II. A woman just called me and asked me to transfer a prescripton for Ultram from Wal Mart. She said the pharmacist there wouldn’t fill it, because it’s early. The doctor had called to authorize an early refill, but the pharmacist on duty still would not fill it three weeks early (go unknown Wal Mart pharmacist! She said the funeral would be in Missoula. Or has a highly attuned bullshit sensor. Flat Co-pays and ...

Pharmacy Girl: May 2008
http://pharmdgirl.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
The view from behind the counter. Tuesday, May 13, 2008. That's one thing I have to say about the new place of employment - some docs are not afraid to prescribe opioids for pain. Granted, I am serving a different population and many of my new customers have cancer pain. Today, I dispensed 360 OxyContin 80mg tablets, 360 Percocet 10/325mg tablets, 240 carisoprodol 350mg tablets, and 90 diazepam 10mg tablets to THE SAME PATIENT. It's amazing to me that he's even walking around. Wednesday, May 7, 2008.
