Below is a message that I sent to Melinda Carson at FDB regarding the way
the allergens pick list from FDB looks. I wanted to know if people agree
with what I am asking them to do?
Thanks,
Charlie
Melinda - Last night I was staffing and noticed that when I entered an
allergy for Darvocet, I got the following choices:
Darvocet-N 50 Multiple
Darvon Multiple
Darvon Compound 32 Multiple
Darvon Compound-65 Multiple
Darvon-N Multiple
Darvocet-N 100 wasn't even listed, so shouldn't it be? The other option is
to just not put a strength and just have Darvocet-N. The same for Darvon
Compound - why not get rid of the strength. I've never seen a strength
listed for a med when it is listed as an allergy.
Also, Vicodin and Lortabs are listed kind of the same way
1 Vicodin Multiple
2 Vicodin ES Multiple
1 Lortab Multiple
2 Lortab 10/500 Multiple
3 Lortab 7.5 Multiple
4 Lortab Elixir Multiple
Something like Zocor isn't listed separately for each strength, so neither
should any drug - it makes no sense. Granted if we are looking at
excipient allergies, it may be an issue, but like I said, I've never seen
a strength written on an allergy in my entire life.
Thanks,
Charlie
