DCP Manjunath's Complaint Highlights Issues with Fortis Hospital Pharmacy
DCP Manjunath's Experience at Fortis Hospital
In a recent incident, DCP (VIP security) Manjunath filed a complaint following his inpatient treatment at Fortis Hospital from September 6-10. While under care, he was prescribed three types of medication: five tablets each of Predmet 16mg and Tamiflu 75mg, along with three tablets of Cefodem XP 325mg. Upon visiting the pharmacy, he asked for loose tablets, believing he did not need more than what was prescribed.
Pharmacy Refusal Sparks Concern
Despite DCP Manjunath's requests, Nagaraju, the pharmacy staffer, declined to sell the loose tablets. This decision prompted Manjunath to escalate the matter, resulting in a complaint to the High Grounds police.
Impact on Patient Care
This situation raises important questions about patient rights and the accessibility of prescribed medications in hospital settings. The requirement for patients to advocate for themselves emphasizes the necessity for pharmacies to support optimal health outcomes.
