I was sick enough to go and see a doctor today. In total I received 5 medications after the consultation. I am supposed to take one of them OM, one BD, one TDS, one QDS and one PRN.
I tried to formulate a schedule of when I should take what medicine of what quantity, then I realised it's actually pretty tough. It consumes too much brain juice when I already feeling very miserable due to the illness.
Imagine doing this to an elderly patient...
And I know that some prescriptions require the patient to take this dose for one day and a different dose the next day, like the tapering dose of prednisolone...
And there are patients who take so many drugs that it is not possible to fit all the drugs into a single page on the IMR...
