Description

The PGD 2014 is a vital tool for dispensers and staff to use in their daily tasks of administering medicines. It provides information and instructions on medicines, such as general use, dosage, side effects, interactions, and use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The PGD also describes the dispensing procedures needed to ensure that a patient receives the appropriate medicine and proper instructions on its use. The PGD highlights the importance of analysing the prescription and interpreting it correctly, choosing the correct medicine and packaging it to minimise contamination and maintain quality, correctly labelling the medicine, and providing patients with medi-cines information in a confidential manner.
