This is one of the effects of skin deep education that's just barely scratching the surface.
And this I believe is not a Pharmacist but one of those wannabes.
Amoxil and Augmentin are both in the same class for Pregnancy in all Drug compendium and that's either A or B.
Your mentioning of Paludrine as an alternative gives me no other alternative than to leave you to your sea of knowledge.
The person that clicked that LIKE under your post must be a johesuite under a spell cos I'm sure the person had no idea why he clicked the like.

But you knew all this when you were going to school now.

And what's the name of the person with such qualifications that you descriped?

PerfectFortune: It is only in Nigeria that the Drs want to head all aspects of the medical profession but want to remain unprofessional, arrogant and complete chEats.

They want All nurses to have Bsc cos that is the minimum in the USA currently (without a pay rise and when they get their Phd they should not be addressed as Drs of Nursing and when they become Profs should still not be consultants) . Pharm D should not be approved (as it is currently in the USA) cos it will give the Pharmacists the privilege of being addressed as Drs which will inturn lead to them becoming a consultant and as such can head a medical institution which is d practise in the USA currently.

They are less concerned about the patients, self centered, arrogant and completely undertrained (unprofessional), harbalists are better than some of them but want to remain at the top.

If I'm to understand you correctly, for five years in a University, studying the course Pharmacy, students learn how to dispense drugs.

Can anyone be in doubt that doctors have been highly indoctrinated; it's just as worse as Boko-Haram.

pharmacist - Job description

Hospital pharmacists

Job Description

Hospital Pharmacist work in a hospital pharmacy service, primarily within the public sector. They are experts in the field of medicines and are not only responsible for the dispensing of prescriptions but also the purchase, manufacture and quality testing of all medicines used in a hospital. Many hospital pharmacists are qualified to prescribe in their own right. Pharmacists work closely with medical and nursing staff to ensure that patients receive the best treatment, advising on the selection, dose and administration route. They also provide help and advice to patients in all aspects of their
medicines. The role of a hospital pharmacist can extend outside the hospital with responsibility for
medicines in health centres, nursing homes, hospices and general practitioners' (GP) surgeries.

Typical work activities Hospital pharmacists are medicine experts and tasks may include: checking prescriptions to ensure that there are no errors and that they are appropriate and safe for
the individual patient; providing advice on the dosage of medicines and the most appropriate form of medication, for example, tablet, injection, ointment or inhaler; participating in ward rounds, taking patient drug histories and involvement in decision-making on
appropriate treatments; liaising with other medical staff on problems
patients may experience when taking their medicines; discussing treatments with patients' relatives,
community pharmacists and GPs;
ensuring medicines are stored appropriately and securely;
supervising the work of less experienced and less qualified staff;
answering questions about medicines from within the hospital, other hospitals and the general
public; keeping up to date with, and contributing to, research and development; writing guidelines for drug use within the hospital and implementing hospital regulations;
providing information on expenditure on drugs; preparing and quality-checking sterile medications, for example, intravenous medications;
setting up and supervising clinical trials.

More experienced pharmacists may be involved in teaching, both within the pharmacy department and in other areas of the hospital.

What pharmacists do and where
they work

Pharmacy is not just about filling prescriptions. it is about promoting health awareness and contributing to the betterment of the community.

Pharmacists may: prepare or supervise the dispensing of medicines, ointments and tablets
advise patients on how their medicines are to be taken or used in the safest and most effective
way in the treatment of common ailments advise members of the public and other health professionals about medicines (both prescription and over-the-counter medicines), including appropriate selection, dosage and drug interactions, potential side effects and therapeutic effects select, give advice on and supply non-prescription medicine, sickroom supplies and other products develop legally recognised standards, and advise on government controls and regulations concerning the manufacture and supply of medicines work in the research and development of medicines and other health-related products be involved in the management of pharmaceutical companies.

Community pharmacists dispense prescriptions, provide advice on drug selection and usage to doctors and other health professionals, primary
healthcare advice and support, and educating customers on health promotion, disease
prevention and the proper use of medicines..

Consultant pharmacists are either employed by community pharmacies or hospitals, or are self-
employed and contract with community pharmacies to provide medication reviews for residential care or ambulatory care patients and/ or other medication-related cognitive services.

Hospital pharmacists operate as part of a healthcare team and are involved in monitoring medication usage, counseling patients, providing
drug information and advice to health professionals and the community, conducting clinical trials and preparing products for patient use. They usually have a lot of contact with other health professionals and members of the public.

Industrial pharmacists undertake research and the development, manufacture, testing, analysis
and marketing of pharmaceutical and medical products.

Outside the square and going places: Pharmacists also work as locums and in fields such as the military, law, journalism, academic
teaching, research, pharmaceutical policy and in rural and remote areas, and even abroad.

If you’re currently training to be a nurse practitioner, you’ve hit the jackpot. Health care reform has bratcheted up the demand for medical professionals across the country.

Baby boomers are beginning to see an onslaught of ailments brought on by age, and they are seeking medical treatment at increased rates. Job opportunities remain excellent and unemployment in this field is astonishingly low. The highest-paid in the
profession are pulling in six figures. But for many, the decision to enter this profession wasn’t spurned by the money or the changing political tide, but the chance to help people. That’s the real job description for a nurse practitioner.

Nurse practitioners, or advanced practice registered nurses, are qualified to take patient histories, perform physical exams, order labs, analyze lab results, prescribe medicines, authorize treatments and counsel patients and families on continued care. Similar to other health care professionals who are patient-focused – like physicians and registered nurses – nurse practitioners might also have a “population” they specialize in, such as families, adults, pediatrics or geriatrics. They also might concentrate on providing care in a specific area, such as cardiology, dermatology, oncology, orthopedics
and more. Similar to physicians and other registered nurses, APRNs often conduct research and teach within their specialty.

Nurse practitioners’ array of qualifications, and
the fact they can work independently of doctors to
treat patients, makes this No. 4 job on our Best
Jobs of 2014 list an attractive career choice. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts 37,100 new
positions for this field between 2012 and 2022,
growing at a rate of 33.7 percent.

Pharmacist, Nurses and other health professionals are not tussling for headship of hospitals with doctors as doctors want people to beleiev. Neither are they saying they must be earning the sane salaries as doctors.

They only wanted to be accorded the proper respect and put into the scheme of things like their counterparts in countries like US and UK.

Nigerians doctors, right from when they relocate to teaching hospitals are being indoctrinated by their handlers to believe that they are the only professionals in the health sector, that others are just there to relieve them of stress.

Some doctor on the forum even compared them to a driver that a doctor employs to relief him of the stress of driving.

And if you thing male Nigerian doctors are arrogant, wait till you meet the females.

Even in US where nurses and pharmacists are allowed to function the proper way they are supposed to, it does not mean that their decision can override that of a Doctor. Doctors of course have superior authority in patient care.

and registered nurses probably function in their fullest capacity in areas where there are no doctors or situations where no doctors are around.


But here in Nigeria, the problem is the doctors don't even want to recognize anyone. They want to suppress everyone.

Please stop with your twisting of things. Everyone knows that nurses cannot earn as much as doctors. Or Medical Laboratory Scientists earn as much as doctors. And these professionals are aspiring for these goals. why should they. its not like that in any parts of the world.

The problem is that even that which should normally be due to them, Nigerian doctors have been fighting tooth and nails for decades to make sure that it never happens.

The fact is Nurses, pharmacist and physiotherapist become consultants in US, UK etc. Why should it be an abomination here in Nigeria because Nigerian doctors says so?

People don't be deceived, this consultant is closely tied to the fact that Nigerian doctors wants to corner all the opportunities which exists in the health sector to themselves.

For instance, some foreign bodies or world organisations needs a consultant in some pressing heath issues. It could be due to the peculiar nature of the issue, A consultant nurse or medical laboratory scientist or pharmacist will be most appropriate.

Alas, when they start asking around, maybe through some Consultancy Firms, there are no consultants in the entire health sector other than doctors. So only doctors will be able to get these kinds if opportunities.

Those guys....... they know why they are fighting tooth and nail and giving all sorts if ludicrous excuses.

Nigerian doctors will have us believe that is occe a nurse or laboratory scientist becomes a consultant, they will start interfering or overruling the diagnosis or orders of doctors.

Nonsense. if its not happening in other climes, why should it happen here. Many of the benefits of being a Consultant in your field extends beyond the hospitals and doctors knows this fact very well, after all, they've been benefiting from it in multi various ways.

That is why a medical officer(a doctor)even after doing MSc,PhD,diplomas and 30years of service will not dream of becoming a consultant.

You assume I'm a heath sector practitioner. Well I'm not. it just so happens that I've lives inside a teaching hospital for many many years, so all the politics going onbisvopen to me. I see firsthand what's happening.
