Ramipril

Why can’t we take the responsibility?

From Mr M. Cottingham, MRPharmS

I would be interested to know if any doctor had not given their consent for Tritace (ramipril) tablets to be dispensed on prescriptions written for Tritace capsules. Why as the “health expert in the High Street” can I not take that responsibility?

How can we be taken seriously as a profession if we must bother the prescriber on what is essentially a technicality?
