The DO NOTS of A PT

Just a few things to not do at work if you are a Pharm Tech:

-by pass any drug interaction when processing a prescription without a pharmacist’s involvement
-answer a question pertaining to a prescription medication or an over the counter medication
-have a key to the pharmacy
-know the combination to a pharmacy lock or lockbox containing the key or combination to the pharmacy
-take a new prescription over the telephone
-take a change in directions or strength of a prescription.
-choose what medication to refill for a patient (if a patient asks for a refill on their heart medication the pharmacist must determine which medication to refill)
- provide drug information to anyone
- consult with the patient or patient’s agent regarding their prescription drugs or Over-the-Counter medications
