hello there welcome to the pharmacy consulting room with srp, now any good pharmacy establishment
should have one of these private rooms where we can discuss things together privately and
go over any concerns you might be having with your health or medication.
but today i think it's just a trivial matter i'm going to help you with.
so i have your list of medication here i'm just going to go over everything with yourself
to see if it's correct.
so first up we have 100 milligrams of allopurinol, 500 milligrams of metformin, 20 milligrams
of Atorvastatin and 10 milligrams of amitriptyline.
so that's four tablets per day.
now are you having any health concerns that you want to discuss with me today?
any side effects from those tablets do you feel?
okay now has this been discussed with your general practitioner?
that's absolutely fine then
so we were talking about your medication there, now i just want to have a little look at what
you've actually done here with your tablets, it's a very good idea
you have your weekly set of medication there in your pill box
labelled by day,these daily abbreviations
and i note something very special about this box
it is colour coded per day but notice how the colours match the colours of the rainbow
there
good so this is perfect for convenience, storing your tablets in for the week so you don't
forget anything.
just going to briefly check the condition of the pillbox
just ensure everything is working
wednesday
thursday
friday and saturday
a little look at the days
just ensure there's no defects
the case is fine, each individual compartment is working nicely.
so they have these little push action
releases.
excellent work there
okay now the beauty of your medication is that they come in these lovely little foil
plastic blister packs
so here is a sample of your Amitriptyline ,.the tablets do make some nice sounds
in those individual compartments there, and when you release one of the tablets you also
get some nice foil sounds.
let's see if we can generate some without releasing the tablet
it's a very good sound
oh that's better
place a little bit of pressure on the
soft surface
some are better than others
we generate some nice sounds prior to tablet release
excellent now i'd like to make a slightly better recommendation, take things a little
bit further if you like.
how about a pill box for the month?
colour coded for the week
each individual day here.
look at the advantage here it reminds you what you have to take in the morning, noon,
evening slash night time and any additional
tablets you might want to pop in there or supplements such as multivitamins, cod liver
oil or glucosamine, for example
now i've inspected the case here
it's actually in very good condition
individual compartments that just require
a slight uplift there
like so. and then they click back into place
now what's your thoughts on being a little bit more prepared and efficient by employing
one of these four-week pill boxes?
is that something that appeals to you?
okay now i'm going to take some time to populate your pillbox there, which is the main reason
for seeing me today.
you've been having a few problems with the arthritis in the fingers, very mildly though
so i'm going to use this little spoon to scoop your tablets up one at a time and place them
into your pill box.
okay?
so let's use the consulting table here
I have your tablets here ready to go.
let's start with the
allopurinol for the monday next week
yes we have metformin
right on there
and then the Amitriptyline there
that's the one day done for you.
now let's move on to tuesday.
we'll start with your
lipid tablets
your diabetic tablet
tablet for your gout, it's the allopurinol
and the Amitriptyline
let's move on to the wednesday
first tablet
second one.
now for the third
and for the final tablet on the wednesday there
now onto the thursday
and for the final one here of the thursday
okay so i want you to give me a few more minutes so i can populate the rest of the pill box
for you.
these are the sounds that this pill box will create
okay so bear with me i'll finish the job off for you now
