Switch info
The PCT pharmacists have been in again today to let us know about three switches they are planning to do at one of the local practices.
They are atorvastatin to simvastatin, risedronate to alendronate, and gaviscon advance to peptac.
They are asking the practice to send out letters to patients about the switches, and we have already started to adjust our stocks.
What we then thought about was the issue of not consuming grapefruit when dosette box patients are swapped from atorvastatin to simvastatin because you can't get that amount of detailed information on the back of the dosette boxes.
So we have written our own letter for these patients to tell them about not consuming grapefruit when they are swapped to simvastatin.
