This RiteAid apparently gets their orders on Thursdays and so I helped put the order away yesterday. It was maybe 8pm (I had to work 1-9:30pm...) and I was talking to one of the technicians (she is really amazing at her job) and she told me that the pharmacy used to be a morgue. I guess there was a hospital at this location before they made it a RiteAid and where the pharmacy sits is where the morgue used to be... I was like great! I just LOVE scary movies and being scared *sarcasm*. And I have to work a few night shifts too :(.
Things I've been asked by my preceptor so far:
- What is galantamine used for and what is it derived from?
- It's for Alzheimer's Disease and it's derived from a plant. (I originally said flower haha. Close enough right? :))
- Give me some of the really bad things about Amiodarone.
- It turns you into a smurf (blue) because of the iodine. (I actually learned about this from a drug rep for that new drug that me and Tanya thought was a misspelling of amiodarone, dronedarone (Multaq) hahaha. That's one of their advantages.)
- You need an annual eye exam because it causes corneal deposits.
- It's pro-arrhythmic meaning it causes arrhythmias.
- Its also hepatotoxic and also has pulmonary toxicity.
- When given with warfarin, you need to monitor INR. Most likely you'll need to decrease the dose by 40%.
I was reading my subscriptions and saw this. Thought it was pretty awesome haha. I want to make one for my TV now :).
Here's my really random current playlist :). Enjoy!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
