This page is intended to showcase some of the more unusual or interesting prescriptions pharmacists may be presented with in community pharmacy.
For each case the information or a scanned copy of the original and anonymous prescription will be available for two weeks after which the outcome/additional information will be posted. You can discuss these with your tutors and other pharmacists.
