Lisaflex:if you don't know there's what we call polypharmacy and if a particular brand is not available it can be substituted for the available brand. It is not even ethical to prescribe a medication using the brand names, you prescribe using generics. The OP is human and any human can react to drug. that's why your pxcist will tell you that all drugs are poisons, only the dose and your genetic makeup helps especially as regards drug reactions. 1 Like 1 Share |

Seems the fellow involved finally divulged further info: he walked in and requested for Ciprofloxacin and was educated and offered azithromycin. A pharmacist is the custodian of drugs and their appropriate use. Pharmacists also by their charge educate patients and promote responsible self medication, health promotion and rational drug use. However, the pharmacist shouldn't have condoned irrational use of an antibiotic given the current drive for antibiotic stewardship to reduce antimicrobial resistance. A cursory look through appropriate clinical resource (central library of medicine- pubmed) however indicates that in asthmatic patients, Azithromycin use leads to lower primary end points i.e. reduces symptoms and exacebations. The best course of action would have been to discuss this with @Demilader's physician and seek an agreement to pursue this course. Barring an idiosyncratic reaction, the drug should actually have made @Demilader feel better. Pharmacists are able to provide generic substitutions for patients without recourse to the prescriber but are always required to discuss therapeutic substitutions with the physician (in practice settings where prescriptive authority exists for pharmacist prescribers, a short term intervention can be taken without consulting the physician but must be documented for review within a stipulated time). I do hope @Demilader lives well and heartily, and wish we would all just look at the facts and make progress. This incident should ordinarily have been documented and a proper clinical and regulatory review done. 2 Likes

UNLTD51:this dude is one stubborn he goat his parent should have told him that anyone can react to drugs. from his writing it's possible the dude is a doctor who is frustrated and has something against pxcists. just like I said earlier, you will still need a pharmacist today, tomorrow and till death do you part from this world. even in the mog you'll still need pharmaceuticals. 1 Like |

princey83:Just had to comment, couldn't stomach it anymore! what you have up there is grossly inaccurate. Where in this world is there a doctor that knows nothing about the drug he is giving his patients? gosh! if u want to be bias pls go right ahead but those screen shots are untrue. it's even illogical. |

AdoraAmadi:/ It is normal to have adverse reactions to medications. This guy is making unnecessary noise. If you read the side effects of some medications (some worse than the original ailment) sometimes you will be forced to avoid taking any medications. Everyone reacts differently to medications.

There are idiosyncratic reactions to drugs. Sometimes people react unusually to drugs and it is not the doctors' or the pharmacist's fault. The Azithromycin that was given to the guy was not supposed to cause status asthmaticus (in fact, it was supposed to prevent it according to some research). It could be that the asthma attack just coincided with the time he started the medication and he is now putting the blame on the drug (and the pharmacist) Certain things can trigger acute asthma so we need to know all the circumstances surrounding the attack that he had. 3 Likes |

The information given by this patient is vague. No name of drugs initially prescribed and eventually given... No information about the Pharmacy premises etc... How do you expect us to assess and believe all these craps. Pharmacists are trained experts in drugs and you can't take that away from them. There are countless occasions where they have positively helped correct or modify Doctor's prescription that has helped the patient. Why bring this kind of post to defame a profession? |

Lisaflex:And you know the Pharmacist did not ask relevant questions because you were there? Besides, how did you know that the drug was contraindicated in asthmatics, when the OP did not mention the name of the drug? Have you heard of idiosyncrasy? This might be one of such cases o. |
