Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Wes. You might check with Dr. Perssee from Houston. He's the Medical Director for the Safety Committee at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 The easiest, and probably wisest way to handle OTC dispensing is to simply have individually pre-packaged dosages of common meds available for the patient him/herself to choose from. That way, you are not dispensing or prescribing, relieving you from liability. And most adults can be trusted to do that. But the moment you start evaluating the patient and recommending what they take, you need protocol. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
