Pharmacy Technician
Unit 1 PART A
Pharmacology at Work 1. What are the requirements for dispensing schedule II and III prescriptions? Name some examples of each.
Schedule II can only be prescribed in person, unless it’s an emergency. Schedule II’s dispensing is very strict since it has a high possibility of abuse. An example of schedule II would be morphine, fentanyl and hydromorophone.
Schedule III has a moderate potential for abuse. Unlike schedule II which doesn’t have refills on prescriptions, Schedule III can be refilled five times within six months. This has to be approved by a physician. Examples of schedule III are anabolic steroids and codeine with aspirin or acetaminophen.
Internet Research 1. Research the career options for trained pharmacy technicians. Write a short (two to three paragraphs) report outlining the qualifications sought by potential employers and explaining how this course will help you succeed in the job market. List at least two Internet sources.
One of the first requirements for being a pharmacy technician is the age, which is 18 years old. Pharmacy technicians usually work under supervision of a pharmacist, meaning they are looking for anyone who has somewhat of a working experience. They do need someone that they can rely on as far as knowing their information, which means that a well educated candidate is much needed. Dedication and hard work are other minor requirements as well.
This course will help me succeed since it provides a very fine background of being a pharmacy technician. There are a lot of different topics that helps any aspiring technician in achieving what they want to achieve in the future. The course offers so many opportunities to grow and expand one’s knowledge as a pharmacy technician.
