cost of the brands

/in /by

Compare the cash cost of the brand and the generic making sure that the dose (milligrams, micrograms, etc.) and number of pills are the same.

Example: Synthroid .05 milligrams and levothyroxine .05 milligrams, prescription for 30 pills.

For over-the-counter products, use identical products including formulation (liquid, capsules, etc.), dose (mgs per tablet, mgs per cc, etc.) and size of packaging (20 tablets in the box, 90cc fluid in the bottle, etc.). Try to avoid products that contain multiple ingredients like cold preparations as these are hard to compare due to differing quantities of ingredients within each product.

Example: Benadryl (brand) 25 mg per capsule, 25 capsules per bottle and diphenhydramine (generic) 25 mg per capsule, 25 capsules bottle.

limited pharmacologic research

/in /by

  (4-5 paragraphs)  

What has contributed to limited pharmacologic research across different ethnic groups?

Discuss differences in cultural values/beliefs regarding acceptance of psychotropic medications. 

With the rise in migration mental instability may present at any given time. As we know Mental stigma is not well embraced in many cultures, yet patients and clinicians must face presented underlying mental cases that are perceived differently in each culture. Many factors affect full acceptance due to language barrier, cultural commitment and value in traditional medications and side effects. Patients presenting for somatic symptoms sometimes have no medical explanation and may be affected by a psychiatric condition. The sealed culturally beliefs may block the connection to mind and body existence to accept a dual diagnosis (Bhugra et al. 2011).

How does this affect engagement, adherence rates, medication selection, patient education?

narcotics

/in /by

 thank you for your detailed posting. As I read your posting, the one thought that keep coming to me was the importance of communication and detailed assessment.  Was it ever asked how often Patricia was taking the narcotic and how long ago did she take it?  Perhaps she has not needed a strong narcotic every day and has found other alternatives to pain relief. Perhaps she only needs it occasionally. It would be helpful if people monitored on narcotics would have an electronic sign in and out system whereby they could only get x number of doses in one day. Of course this would be expensive but may in the end save not only money but lives as well. What do you think? This way, the practitioner would have access to each patient’s pattern of use.
