Richard-(Pharmacist) (205)221-4090
Richard gave us an information packet of how to and drug lists etc.
Mentioned the absolute need for the pharmacy leader to be brought into the circle weeks and months ahead. Put them in charge of packaging and labeling.
Richard advocates that at least carrying some of the drugs with you when you travel because some boxes get lost through the container and you need at least some of all your drugs. Monitor the medicine consumption on each particular drug.
In Limon-Leave at least as much medicine as you found
Do not leave medicines that have adverse side effects(steroids, etc.)
Communicate what you ran out of and what you had too much of.
