Study Notes

Hospital Pharmacy Location

Hospital pharmacies should be strategically located in a central area to ensure equitable service delivery to all wards.
Multiple pharmacies within the hospital are beneficial, with each serving a specific ward or group of wards.

Schedule V Drugs Dispensing

Some Schedule V drugs can be dispensed without a prescription, but only in limited amounts and at the pharmacist's discretion.
Physicians can provide prescriptions for Schedule V drugs if they deem it necessary.
There are no restrictions on the number of refills for Schedule V drugs.
A new prescription is required for additional drug dispensing if no refills are specified.

Drug Substitution

Decisions on drug substitution should consider the patient's condition and the relative toxicity of the alternative medication.

Levothyroxine Sodium Oral Liquid

Using a typical strength of 10 micrograms/mL as an example:
- levothyroxine sodium 100 micrograms tablet (10)
- preserved xanthan gum 0.4% (or similar) suspending agent to 100 mL.
