Why does the pharmacist add these little ticks/checkmarks with a pen on my medication box?
For a second, I thought "maybe they indicate which bits of the braille are relevant" and then I took a long walk and thought about my life choices.

They're comparing to the actual medication to make sure they're giving you the right thing.
Ahh, so it's like they're reading from the order/prescription, and say "ok he needs pregabalin - tick - and it's 150mgs - tick - and it's hard capsules - tick", or something to that effect?
Prega-check
Balin-check
150mg-check
She balin on my 150mg till she prega
It's comments like this that almost make me miss reddit gold
Yup. Medication can have pretty similar names for wildly different drugs, so just doing a little due diligence to make sure you don't grow a third ear or something
It is so bad that there is literally a publication of frequently confused drug names (pdf).
Package size as well
maybe I'm just a pervert, but all that text is aggressively sexual
what I'm saying is I'm ready to take Dr. Reddy's hard, red pregabalin capsules
"You'll be pregabalin' these capsules"
She pregabilin' my capsules til I ticked
Dr. Reddy's hard, bulbous, throbbing capsule will take away your anxiety.
yes, yes I would imagine 🥵
What if they make you pregananant?
yes, I do ☺️
Get Pregabalin with Dr Reddys 150mg hard capsules
Part of their QA process to check against name and dosage of the drug to another form they are referecing
Is there a “Postgabalin”?
Read it as "Preg-a-bailin" and thought it was highly insensitive.
There's gabapentin from the same group.
It's the Nike logo
Pregabalin - Just do it.
omg
Pregabalin is quite nice. Would love to have some again.
Had some to help with pain but it didn't really had any effect
Vor pain really? I found it more of nice chill mellow mood alteration.
Idk why my dr gave me this one It was supposed to help with my nerve pain, but it didn't really
H a r d
TIL brand name pregabalin still exists.
It's a generic for Lyrica.
Damn. Yeah, it is. Didn't think I'd ever be able to forget some of that stuff. Glad to be wrong, though
Right on. Don't worry, this won't be on the exam. 😁
