The Pharmacist’s Conundrum (3)

A client walks into the pharmacy…

Patient: Good afternoon. I want to refill my BP medicine.

Pharmacist: Alright sir, what medications are you taking?

Patient: Err… I don’t remember the name. Something like amlodopi… or lisino… (looks at the pharmacist for help)

Pharmacist: Do you mean Amlodipine and Lisinopril, sir?

Patient: (Relieved) Yes, please.

Pharmacist: And the strengths?

Patient: Which one is strength again?

Pharmacist: The “mg”, sir.

Patient: Ah… I cannot remember o.

Pharmacist: Did you bring the empty packs?

Patient: No. I’ve been on them for six months. My doctor just told me to keep taking them.
................................................................................................................................................

Sounds familiar?
For many pharmacists practising in Nigeria, it certainly is.
The conundrum? 🤔
😥 The patient cannot recall the exact medication names.
😥 He has no idea of the strengths.
😥 The empty packs were not kept.
😥 And there is no centralised database where his prescription can be retrieved.

In countries like Nigeria, this is common because:
👉 We lack a national electronic health database.
👉 Long hospital waiting times discourage regular check-ups.
👉 Many patients cannot afford frequent clinic visits.

But one lesson that has stayed with me through pharmacy school, from Professor Kunle Idowu is this:
“Do the best you can, with what you have.”

At TOP VALUE PHARMACY LIMITED, we built our own internal solution:
✔️ A secure central database on Google Drive
✔️ Medication history documented for every client
✔️ Regular BP readings recorded and monitored
✔️ Clear records that prevent mix-ups and support continuity of care

It’s not a national system, but it protects our patients and gives us reliable reference points every time they walk through our doors.

Are you practising in a country like Nigeria? How do you tackle this challenge?

We’re open to learning and collaborating 💪 💙

Welcome December!

We are grateful. 💙 💙

What about you?

On 28th November 2025, at Ado Grammar School, we will inaugurate the Drug Free Club (DFC), a school-based initiative of the Drug Free Project, committed to helping young people build confidence, develop life skills, and choose a drug-free path. 💙 💙

Our mission is simple yet urgent: that no one dies from drug abuse🚭 🙅



And what better way to do this than to catch them young, empower them early, and surround them with role models who choose health, discipline, and purpose? 🤔

The Drug Free Club will serve as a safe space where students learn life skills, discuss social pressures, build confidence, and champion a drug-free lifestyle within their school. ✔️ ✔️

Through leadership training, structured learning, and peer-driven support, we are shaping tomorrow’s leaders, one student at a time.

We are calling on organizations, community leaders, and individuals who believe in youth empowerment to partner with us. Your sponsorship or volunteer support can help us reach more schools, train more ambassadors, and save more young lives.

Together, we can build communities where every child thrives: drug-free, confident, and full of hope.

The Pharmacist’s Conundrum (2)

(A patient walks into the pharmacy…)

Pharmacist: Good afternoon, sir. How may I help you today?

Patient: Good afternoon, Aunty Pharmacist. I need to buy my BP drugs. (Drops an empty sachet of Tab Amlodipine 10mg)

Pharmacist: Alright, sir. If it’s okay with you, let’s also check your BP to be sure it’s well controlled.

(After resting and checking…)

Pharmacist: Sir, your BP is 152/91mmHg. That’s not well controlled. How do you take your medicine?

Patient: One tablet daily. But I haven’t taken it for a week now.

Pharmacist: Why not?

Patient: I didn’t have the money. I just got paid, that’s why I’m here.

Pharmacist: Don’t you have insurance coverage?

Patient: I do. But the long waiting time at the hospital discourages me. I can’t take a whole day off work just to refill my meds.
........................................................................................................................................

Patients want to stay healthy, but barriers like long waiting times, affordability, and accessibility often stand in the way of adherence.

At Top Value Pharmacy Limited, we believe no patient should have to choose between their health and their livelihood. Partnerships between community pharmacies, hospitals, and insurance companies can break down these barriers, ensuring timely access to medicines and better health outcomes.

We are open to collaborations that put patients first.
