Swati Patel, PharmD, of Harris Teeter
Pharmacy in Greensboro, NC, received this prescription
on a Saturday. The pharmacist's first
instinct was to contact the prescribing physician
to confirm the prescription. Unfortunately,
it was a weekend, and the physician was not
in the office. As an alternative, the pharmacist
decoded this script and asked the patient
whether she had taken the medications previously.
Can you figure out this prescription?
Mehdi Reza, PharmD, of CVS/pharmacy #7680
in Terrell, Tex, did not spend a lot of time deciphering
this prescription, because the patient
had received the product before. The moment
the patient said it was for birth control, Dr.
Reza knew what the physician prescribed.
Can you unscramble this prescription without
the patient's help?
