Reasons for the Action(s) / Pros and Cons: Since schedule II drugs have the greatest potential of being abused, we feel that an expiration date will force patients to have their prescriptions filled at the appropriate time. Although some states follow more stringent laws, which include a CII prescription expiration date, ...

Reasons for the Action(s) / Pros and Cons: Drug abuse among pharmacy students leads to drug abuse among pharmacists. Randomized testing could prevent this from happening. Although some students may feel this is an invasion of privacy, it would discourage students from abusing drugs. More specifically, ...

Reasons for the Action(s) / Pros and Cons: When a person is overworked, mistakes are more likely to occur. For this reason, pharmacists and staff should be given an appropriate break when they work a certain amount of hours. A break would allow the pharmacist and staff time to refresh their minds. During this break, patients would not be able to pick ...

Reasons for the Action(s) / Pros and Cons: Behind-the-counter medications would allow uninsured patients to receive the medications they need without paying to see a doctor to get a prescription. Although this puts more responsibility on the pharmacist, the pharmacist has the knowledge to make decisions about maintenance medication dosing and ...

Reasons for the Action(s) / Pros and Cons: A disease cannot be treated if the patient is unaware of their condition. A “clinical activities” room would allow for more screenings in community pharmacies, which would increase awareness amongst the public. Sadly, not all pharmacists wish ...

Reasons for the Action(s) / Pros and Cons: With the amount of tampered prescriptions rising, we feel that it would be beneficial for all physicians to use electronic prescribing. Also, more electronic prescribing would decrease patients taking each prescription to a different pharmacy. Unfortunately, ...
