Prescriptions

I was cleaning out some of my older files at work and found this today. When we first started, it was hard to keep up with what we needed to take when and why.

Without further ado, the Mom Take Your Medicine List: (I like to think a copy of this is still floating on the 3rd floor somewhere at High Point Regional.)

Feeling Hot?
Take your temperature. Is it over 100.5? Call George. If you cannot get George, go to the Emergency Room.

Feeling Nauseous?
Have you taken any nausea medicine?

No: Bad Mom. You are supposed to be taking Zofran (Ondansetron HCL) at 8:00 AM and when you go to bed.
Yes: Take Compazine (Proclorperazine) every 4 hours as needed between Zofran (Ondansetron HCL).

Got the Barfs?
Have you taken any nausea medicine?

No: Bad Mom. You are supposed to be taking Zofran (Ondansetron HCL) at 8:00 AM and when you go to bed.
Yes: Take Compazine (Proclorperazine), then when your stomach settles, take your next dose of Zofran (Ondansetron HCL)

If you are still throwing up after 4 hours, take another Compazine (Proclorperazine).
If you are still throwing up after 18 hours, call George.

Got the Poopies?
If you have the poopies, take Imodium by package instructions. If you have 8 poopies or less in a day, double the dose of Imodium. More than 8 poopies in a day, call George.

Got the Owwies?
Make sure your patch is on and does not need changing.
Lick a Percocet (Oxycodone w/APAP 5/325), take ½, 1, or 2 every 4 hours as needed for pain.
If you are still having major Owwies, call George.

Got the Yuck Mouth?
Swish with Magic Mouthwash. Morning/Noon/Dinner/Bedtime - If your throat is feeling sore, swallowing this will help.

Make sure you show George the yuck mouth during your next appointment

Need some Colon Cleansing?
Take Miralax by package instructions.
