Practice questions

1 of 46Practice questions for this set
A prescriber writes for clopidogrel 75 mg daily for a patient after a recent stent placement. While processing the prescription, the technician sees the patient's active medications include omeprazole 20 mg daily for reflux, atorvastatin, and lisinopril. The patient asks if they can continue taking their "stomach pill" because heart medications upset their stomach. The technician recalls that some acid-reducing medications can reduce the effect of clopidogrel, and the patient's recent cardiac procedure makes medication effectiveness especially important. The patient's history includes a prior gastrointestinal bleed years ago, which is why omeprazole was started. The technician is unsure how to balance bleeding risk and heart protection and knows this requires pharmacist judgment. Pharmacy policy requires pharmacist review for potential interactions that may reduce therapy effectiveness, especially after hospital discharge. The technician must determine what issue necessitates pharmacist oversight before finalizing the fill.
