Question for practicing pharmacists on therapeutic duplication
hello folks!
I got an rx for aspirin 81 mg and aspirin 325 mg 1 t po prn from the same dr. One would be for cardioprotection and the other most likely for pain? It seemed odd to me bc I’ve never really seen both, so I wasn’t sure what to do. As per lexicomp, aspirin can be used 325-650 mg
Po q4-6 like acetaminophen, and has a daily max of 4g.... so technically it would be ok to dispense both the 325 and 81 mg without calling or clarifying? The doctor never returned my call nor picked up....
