Refusal to dispense the prescribed medication

Example 6. Refusal to dispense the prescribed medication

This example shows a prescription that is made by VOS and the pharmacist refuses to dispense the medication due to interaction with previous medication.

  • After a GP visit, the patient Pia Peters (75 years) is prescribed ibuprofen 400 mg cp (TID) for headaches.
  • The pharmacist, after a conversation with the patient, got to know that he was doing Tritace (ramipril) 10 mg for hypertension.
  • Since the ibuprofen interacts with ramipril, the pharmacist chose to refuse the dispense of the medication;

Notes:

  • The prescription starts a new treatment and treatmentline.
  • As the dispense is rejected, a new prescription should emerge from this.
  • Since the new prescription is for the same purpose, but only a new drug, the treatment stays the same but a new treatment line is created.

The final result of these interactions is:
