frenchwine: U are a useless doctor for sounding this way. He should thank his stars? Like seriously? This is the problem with Nigeria and Africa. When there is a known life threatening reaction to a particular drug, u still go ahead and prescribe it without carrying out necessary reactivity tests on the patient? In a case where this can not be easily determined or tested, do u just prescribe on assumptions? So a pharmacist changed a prescription without knowing the patient's medical history and all u can say is a dr can make same misrake or it was a mistake. A mistake that could send him to the great beyond. If it was in a developed country, do u know how much this particular guy could have made from the "mistake'. This in what is called involuntary man slaughter, your eyes will clear when they charge the pharmacist with that should the guy have died. what do u mean by mistake. i hope u remembered Jackson's personal physician. Cos rubbish go on unchecked here does not give u the right to say nonsense! I dare u to make this kind of foolish comments in the public, not under the cover of internet and see if u won't be sanctioned or medical license withdrawn. Nonsense! |

TCD:you're just right on this but I thought he walked in without a prescription. I do know that it's wrong to alternate a prescription without discussing with the dr. since there wasn't an order what the pxcists did was right only that the patient reacted to the drug. anyone can react to drugs |

koboko69:you are too full of yourself! when do you do reactivity test on people if not until they've reacted to a particular medication them self? and what's the known reactivity to azithromycin as a drug or do you think that drug will still be out there if it's know to be harmful to people? mind you, he walked into the pharmacy without an order. The dude reacted to the drug and that was it. It's neither the fault of the pharmacist nor the drug. you write as if there's no responsibility on the pharmacist and like she can't be sued for error. |

doe:On the contrary it is you that should go look at how it is done so you start appreciating sanity, team effort and collective team input. Agitate for better facilities and how government can avail M. D'S opportunities to expand their knowledge via foreign residencies and not this unnecessary squabble yall gladly engage in |

frenchwine: Now that the dude appears to be hypersensitive to a Macrolide don't you think he'll most likely be allergic to Penicillins such as Ampicillin, Amoxicillin and it's derivatives? because Macrolides are given in place of allergy to Penicillin's but here is someone being allergic to a Macrolide as well... To be honest I've never heard of Macrolide Hypersensitivity as is usually the drug of choice in case of Penicillin hypersensitivity. Just wanna learn.. |

datigbogirl: Truly, macrolide hypersensitivity aren't widely documented as they're rare. Perhaps it's the use in asthmatic patients (whose mast cells are already primed anyway) which brings about the hypersensitivity reaction. I have never used it for an asthmatic patient so I don't know if it's a general thing or its just peculiar to him. On the other hand, since he now has a known hypersensitivity to the macrolides, there is a chance he could cross react to the penicillins. However I have always known that penicillins(or their derivatives) are relatively contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to cephalosporins and perhaps imipenem. In a patient like this (and other asthmatics), I think it's ideal for them to receive a test dose of whatever medication they would be given, before they're placed on it. In that way, we would play safe on both ends........ I am also learning...... |

Re: UPDATE :There s no ERROR on the man who almost Died From A 'prescription Error' by datigbogirl: 2:56pm On Jul 11, 2016 |
frenchwine: Thanx for the subtle correction of my oversight on Penicillins.... Ampicillin, Amoxicillin etc is it's derivatives while Benzathine, Aqueous and Procaine Penicillin is d main forms of Penicillin. I still find it difficult to believe there's actually a Macrolide hypersensitivity tho... Cos if that's the case then the Doctor may have been coincidentally right in giving the px Ciprofloxacin seeing he'll most likely be reactive to Penicillins and Cephalosporins as well. 1 Like |

datigbogirl:Yeah, likely. It's actually unusual for quinolones to be given as a first line treatment of respiratory infections. So yes, the prescribing physicians (which I believe are his parents)would have known about his possible allergy to Penicillins and macrolides. 1 Like |
