Pharmacists & techs – urgent request to speak with a national reporter!
Dear pharmacists and technicians, especially chain pharmacists. I have a one day deadline on this one. It’s a tough one, but I’ll ask. I’ve had CVS pharmacists from locations across the nation say that they also get medications hot to touch that are coming from hot UPS and USPS trucks from central fill locations to the local pharmacies.
These medication are then put on shelves and given to patients without considering the impacts on heat. Is there anyone who is willing to speak to a reporter on this issue? I can ask for anonymity from the public for those who are willing to speak.
Sadly, some of the pharmacists or techs ask me to report to the state boards, but I know most state boards already know this is happening and turning their heads. Some also want to see a better future of medication handling but some are afraid to speak to a reporter. Will you be brave with me?
Maybe, I’ve almost sadly given up home especially here in Missouri.
I have more hope in reporters sharing the stories of patients and pharmacists to apply the pressure on state boards over many (not all) state boards doing the right thing and ensuring safe temperature storage on their own.
If you’re willing to speak message me or email loretta@uniteforsafemeds.com
