Dropped Pills On The Floor

Just today i identified and labeled i know a hundred or more loose pills and still have more to go.

Dropped pills on the floor.

I picked up all the pills and put them back into the bottle but i m sort of worried about taking them after they were on such a filthy floor. I have literally pulled pills out of the toilet and swallowed them after throwing up. For me it would depend on where i dropped the pills a pharmacy is usually cleaner then a garage floor where there may be grease cat hair etc. Cvs s loose pill disposal process although i swear my techs actively look for loose pills for me to have to strongpak.

Wtf man seriously you re taking drugs and worried about the little microbes in the carpet floor. Due to the high cost of the pills the pharmacist immediately contacted their supervisor who in turn contacted the head physician of the facility. That doesn t make them mentally ill. I dropped nearly all of my lexapro on the floor in my dorm room kitchen which is simply filthy.

If you drop it pick it up and keep right on counting. A bathroom floor would be a no. Y know i ve never had a patient who wanted a pill that was dropped on the floor but have had ones that dropped a pill into the bedding. So there we go searching through sheets and blankets and gown.

The pills were picked up the from the floor and they disposed of them in the sharps container. Eat it man harrisment said. Upon finding said pill no matter where in the bed they found it they always popped it back into their mouths. If you find it on the floor strongpak it.

The nurses then informed the pharmacist on duty that a refill of the medication would be necessary.
