I saw a patient in clinic who needed better rate control of their afib. I added some long acting Dilt. Thankfully, he texted me to let me know that the Walgreens switched it to Amlodipine for insurance reasons. He wanted to know if it was ok!
THIS IS NOT OK!!
This happened yesterday during a busy clinic and I was most focused on simply getting him the correct med. I posted on Twitter to vent later. Due to the seriousness of the issue I did speak with the patient and the pharmacist today to figure out what happened.
