SUBCOURSE MD0801 EDITION 200

PRESCRIPTION INTERPRETATION

The prescription is a vital link between the physician and pharmacy personnel. The prescription states the drug and the dose of that drug the patient must receive. If the prescription is not properly interpreted, the patient could suffer injury or death.

Therefore, it is necessary for you to understand the different parts of a prescription and the terminology associated with the prescription.

Prescription Interpretation is the first subcourse in the Pharmacy Specialist Program. The skills and knowledge you gain from reviewing/studying the material in this subcourse will serve you as you complete other subcourses and as you work on the job.
