I forgot about that! I feel like it's not used as much in the US as oxymetazoline

Can anyone think of any generic medicines that start with J, X, or Y?

Randomly remembered that my PhD pharmacologist uncle wrote a guide book about OTC medicines 30 years ago (including the "new" class of H2 acid blockers 🤣) and now I kinda want to get my hands on it and update it for a 2nd edition so I can say I'm a published author. Lol

Dear drs:
In all sincerity, it's great y'all are rxing Journavx for perioperative pain relief and I really hope it's as effective as it's marketed as.

That being said: the stock bottle comes with 30 tablets, why y'all gotta keep prescribing 29?! Please just give them 1 more tablet. For our sake. 🤣

Seriously. The greed and hubris endemic of the compounding pharmacy industry gives me major chills regarding the explosion of companies advertising compounded GLP-1's... 😬

Currently reading this book. An excellent time to remind everybody that you want to be really fucking careful with compounded medication, especially if you inject it.

I assure you, it is still very much used quite often. So much so, we've been struggling to keep it in stock lately

Hey, so, the "TrumpRx" website is literally just a collection of already-existing manufacturer coupons for brand-name drugs, and GoodRx for everything else.

Fuck ICE

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Guys there is so much wrong right now. You may feel powerless, but you aren’t. To paraphrase Nemik, every small act of resistance pushes our lines forward. Keep volunteering. Keep checking on your neighbors. Use your voice.

Hey you MAGAt boot licking "tread on me harder daddy" fuck faces:

You've proven you don't care about the govt thugs violating your 1st, 2nd, and 4th amendment rights, might as well start letting them violate your 3rd, too. Spare us taxpayers from paying for the Hilton. They can sleep on your couch

Tell me your pets name with a gif

This whole regime is literal hell for autistic justice sensitivity

Ya know what *does* cause bleeding? Getting shot in the fucking face! "Internal bleeding" my ass! Fuck ICE

Ya know, it's weird. I haven't seen any accelerationist leftists pick up arms and start their long-awaited revolution yet...

To preface this: I am not, nor have I ever felt suicidal.

But these numbers are alarming. Don't worry about me, worry about my profession 🫣

Is there a reason I've been seeing a lot more quadruple therapy with tetracycline and Pepto bismol for h pylori instead of the triple therapy that used to be so much more common?

I think we all owe an apology to online leftists. I mean, can you even imagine if Kamala had been elected? 2 sides of the same coin, amirite?

I think about this too often.

I also wonder if the "baby" aspirin impacts people's perception of risks when I compare it to people's thoughts about statins.

Meaning that I wonder if I said, "oh this is just a baby lipitor" I'd get more buy-in from patients.

Hi, your friendly neighborhood pharmacist here. If/when discussing his over-use of aspirin, please refer to the 81mg tablet as "low dose aspirin" and NOT "baby aspirin". Aspirin should not be given to babies or children and calling it "baby aspirin" can cause confusion.

The Marleys were dead to begin with

Once upon a midnight dreary
While I pondered weak and weary
Over many a quaint and curious
Volumes of forgotten lore
While I nodded, nearly napping
Suddenly there came a rapping
As if someone gently tapping
Tapping at my chamber door

(I'm just kidding. I built it in the bag so I didn't have to fumble with all the tiny pieces falling all over the place. Lol)

Yo! This is crazy! Tonight's Lego Star Wars Advent calendar came pre-assembled in the bag! Anyone else see anything like this?!

Maybe it's not the tree leaving a bad taste. Maybe it's the Paxlovid 🤣🤣

Hey pharmacy peeps, what do we all think about this? 🤣🤣🤣 🤦 #pharmacy #pharmacist #pharmacytech

I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I got my plastic jesus
Sittin' on the dashboard of my car
Comes in colors pink and pleasant
Glows in the dark 'cuz it's iridescent
Take it with you when you travel far

Thinking about the woman who got her second dose of Shingrix on Wednesday and hope I didn't ruin her Thanksgiving...

(Shingrix is a 2 dose series of vaccines against Shingles and most ppl seem to say the 2nd dose is more reactogenic than the first)
