Re: [Gnumed-devel] further thinking on list of current medications

It´s called Manipulation

 

You instruct a pharmacist to make say:

 

- Enalapril 10mg

- Metformin 500mg

- Alopirinol 100mg

 

- 120 capsules

* Take twice a day ...

 

It is not very common, but some doctors like to do this, the biggest problem I see is that many patients that do this do not know what medication actually is being prescribed (but since I see about 1-2 patients that use this a month - and I work at a busy ER, I suppose it is not worth the trouble to make a feature just for this)

 

But Homeopathic and Floral Medicines fit a lot of diferent remedies together, and I seem to have the impression that in Europe these are somewhat mainstream ... right?

Do you mean that the doctors instruct the pharmacy, or that the doctors perhaps even by themselves, mix together the different drugs, and then put the mixture inside capsules???

In Brasil some physicians have been known to send a single pill with all the patients drugs for the day. As unwise at this may seem it is an example of your question right?
