. Wi I1i-am, one of your cust.omers, sent you his neighbor, Mrs. .jones, E.o cbEain some sleeping pills for his wife who is currently suffering Alzheimer- Upon your refusal Eo dispense t.he pills, he sends you the below letter.

15.03 .1995

Dear PharmacisE. in Charge,

o IE is reatly unfortunate t.hat you refused the sieeping pills to Mrs. ,Jones, RY neighbor.

Eo dispense

i
I :

As you know, the sleeping pills are for my wife r'rho is suf fering Alzhe-imer. This disease has affect.ed our whole life. Her short memory is gone, she cannot find words to say what. she needs, she wears Ehe clothes for weeks, becomes disorienEed many times and can no longer doanyt.hing around t.he house. she is becoming also to lose bowel and bladder control.
Boch of our sons have lefE home as E,hey could not' eope anymore. It is all becoming Eo much for mb although that feeling fills me with a sense of guilt and failure- The woman I loved and have spenE close to 50 years with is now a sLranger to me. f am anguished by the change, ove::urhelmed b1z che responsibility, and distressed by what the future

holds.

visiced her docEor on 02.05.1995 and I feel guilty as f IosE her prescriptions. I am a man in my late 70's and f cannoE Eake her Eo hospj.tal due to long distance and inability eb drive. Therefore, I hoped E,haL some sleeping pi1ls for my wife would help us bot,h get some rest
She lasE

and have enough sleep.

I hope you underscand t.he siuuation and dispense the medicaEion to l'lrs. Jones tomorrow.
Thank you ver-l much

A number of different regimens are recommended for the treatment of infantile tliurrhoea, but rhe basic principle is ro provide enough fluid to rehydrate the infant. I;urt ht'r f'luid is then given to allow for ongoing losses unril the diarrhoea sertles. I iuring rhe first 12-24 hours of rehydration, miJk and solid feeds can be omitted., but t lr'-''t' shottld b<' rapidly reintroduced to avoid malnurridon. Milk feeds may be halfsrrcrrgth initially, but full-strength feeds should be given within 2d hogrs. If the diarrhoea persists or is worsened by the milk, then the possibility of a temporary int<.rlerance to lactose should be considered. If confirmed, a low lactose forrrula can then he offered. I n lantile diarrhoea is uncommon in breast-fed infants- However, if tream.ent with GASTROLYTE becomes necessary, it is suggested that for each feed. the.chosen regimen is followed such that the infant is given the appropriate volume of CAS'|ROLYTE for that feed and then put to the breast until sarisfied. F,xpression of residual milk from the breasts may be necessary during this period. In those parienrs who are vomiting at the start of treatment, it may be advisable to of'fer very sma]l volumes initia.lly until vomiting is under control. If the vomiting and iliarrhoea sho'*' no sign of moderaiing, the patient should be reassessed.. 'l'i':c il, rsage and regrading schemes are onry a general guide and the volume of (;,1S'l'ROL-\"ili given and rhe speed o[reintroducdon of the uonnal feeds is ar rhe
cliscrr-.tion of rhe physician.

(no dehydratic.n): During rhe first 24-48 hours the infant is offered GAS'IROLY'I'E solution in the sarne quantities as are used for tlre uzual feeds. For the ne.ti 12 to 2l hours, the infanr can be given half strength feeds of the usual formula mired with an equal volume of water. Foilowing this, full strergth feeds should be recommenced. ordinary solid feeds should be conrinued tlroughout.
