Description
When dispensing a prescription, a pharmacist was required to consider whether the medication prescribed was suitable for the patient; where there had been a change to the strength or dose of the patient's medication, the question to be asked was whether the prescription really represented what the doctor had intended to prescribe or whether it was a mistake. Failure to question, where necessary, the correctness of the prescription with either the doctor or the patient was conduct below that which was to be expected of a reasonably careful and competent pharmacist.
