This past Wednesday at the San Jose Pharmacy, I was again asked to help with the PAP (Prescription Assistant Program) re-orders. I walked into the pharmacy and the pharmacist handed me a packet, which had a list of all the patients who were eligible to have their medications re-ordered. All the patients on the list were separated according to their physicians, so I logged onto the computer system and began placing the re-orders. As I was going through the list, I noticed that a lot of the prescriptions that I was re-ordering were prescriptions such as Lisinopril or Accupril, which are used to treat high blood pressure. I realized how important these prescriptions are because they work as maintenance drugs for these patients and allow them to maintain a healthy living. Therefore, it is crucial for these patients to have these medications on a daily basis. It is very important for everyone working in the pharmacy to make sure that when these patients run out of their medications, we have already re-ordered it for them so they do not have to go without their medicine.
