Medicationrecord Scenario 2

Scenario

  • Patient Paul Pauwels has hypertension and his physician prescribes him a predefined treatment.

The treatment protocol P5 consists of:
First 4 weeks:

  • losartan, 50 mg, once a day
  • indapamide 1,5 mg once a day
  • amlodipine 5 mg once a day
    After 4 weeks:
  • if needed, increase losartan from 50 to 100 mg
  • maintain indapamide
  • maintain amlodipine


The patient gets a prescription for the 3 products. After the pharmacy dispenses the medications, the patient starts the treatment. After 4 weeks, the physician realizes that the patient’s blood pressure justifies the increase of the dose for losartan, as per the protocol. The physician issues a new prescritpion but the patient still has the medication at home, so the physician tells the patient to simply start taking 2 tablets instead of one, until a few weeks later the patient goes to the pharmacy.
