Abstract

O Friday afternoon at one of Naval Hospital Pensacola’s Medical Home Ports, a physician stepped into the hallway to fl ag down the pharmacist. The physician thought the patient’s symptoms—diarrhea, headache, irregular heartbeat, and dizziness—might be drug-related. Upon hearing the patient’s symptoms and reviewing her medications, Lisa Fournier, PharmD, knew the problem was associated with her daily Reglan dose. The patient couldn’t remember why she was taking the Reglan, only that she had started a couple of years ago when she was seen in the emergency department (ED). Fournier recommended stopping the medication and four other medications she was taking to treat the symptoms.
