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.
