Urgent but out of date

Had a mum in first thing today who handed in a script for domperidone suspension from the local urgent care centre.

It wasn’t until we looked at it closely that we noticed it was out of date (you don’t often see this from ‘urgent care’ scripts).

Mum explained that her toddler had been sick during the night and so she had just dug this script out since she knew it was for nausea and vomiting.

I counselled her and off she went with the appropriate advice and some dioralyte under the Care at the Chemist scheme.
