[india-drug] One Week Training Course In Patient Counseling (12)
****************************************************************

Just wanted to share with the readers an interesting episode that occured in the OPD today. A patient was taking metformin on alternate days to my surprise. When asked why was he doing so, he reproduced the prescription where the resident doctor had written meformin 1gm AD. The resident had used it to imply after dinner, the pharmacist concluded alternate day and the patient was taking it on alternate days.

Writing a correct prescription is a matter of concern too!
