I've never had fun doing ANY kind of math before, but I actually enjoyed doing this. The examples were great to work with. Also some good practice with the sig codes.
I am so grateful for your channel. I took my exam 2weeks ago and pass on my first try. It wasn't until I received the email from PTCB that it all sunk in. Thank you for taking the time to put out theses videos I have literally watched all of them several times over.
Thank u for these vids! Was tech for 17 years- was diagnosed with spinal cord tumor, underwent several surgeries and had to come out of work. Its been hard. I forgot to reinstate my ptcb last year and will have to retake test. Thank you!
Great video, thank you very much for making this. I've been struggling for over 2 years to be trained on days supply for insulin and no one would teach me properly or they would teach me too fast and I wouldn't understand. However, I really wish you went through how to calculate days supply for testosterone because I heard that is different
Hi Amanda i hope you are doing well your videos are extremly helful thank you so much for spending your Valuable time to support us pharmacy technician students God bless you Take Care!!! 😇😄
Thank you Amanda so grateful for your channel. As a pharmacy tech I needed to learn this information to better understand my role and how I can be better. :D
really quick on the oral liquid day supply, the second example when you're explaining about the "q4-6h" you said that the maximum that can be taken is 4? then you divide it by 24 because there are 24 hours in a day and that gave you 6.. i did not quite understand that. If the maximum is 6 than how come we had to do the math to find out 6 if it was already given? And also does that apply to every rx that i will come in contact with that has a similar sig on it
They 6 just happened to be the other number,, it wasn't a given.. they gave a range of when you can take another dose of the medication. It was saying to take it every 4 to 6 hours. You always have to dispense as if they take it every 4 because if you do it every 6, they would run out before their refill. If the question said take it every 2 to 4 hours, you would dispense it using 2, so 24 hours in a day divided by 2 is 12. That would mean they take it 12 times a day. Whereas if you used the 4, 24 divided by 4 is 6, that is 6 times a day and they could run out. Same with this question, every 4 to 6 hours. 24 divided by 4 is 6 times a day 24 divided by 6 is 4 times a day. Go with the more times a day so they don't run out
You want to do the maximum used in one day which would be every 4 hours... I was also confused when I first started pharmacy school and was told to "use common sense" basically told I was stupid by my coworker for asking. If it is 6-8 hours for example you want to calculate by the 6 because it is the earliest they can take the medication. If they only do it every 6 hours instead of 8 you want to make sure they have enough medication... So you basically ignore the 8 hours and do the least amount of time they can take it so that they have enough medication if the patient needs to take it the earliest every time.
So I get this prescription for a lets just say metformin and it says qty #30 take 1 tab every 4 hours no refills. Do I divide? Is it 15 tablets as a day supply or is it 30 days?
If I'm not mistaken, the day supply is 5 tables. First you find how many times a day taken. cause it's taken every 4 hours 24÷4=6 then 30÷6=5 day supply is 5
Have you been struggling with NCLEX be it LPN, RN, or CNA, have you taken the exam for more than once? Are you taking it for the first time? Do you have a too busy schedule to study? Get to Dr Needham for your NCLEX assistance. I’m so happy I finally passed my exams thanks to him. He’s got a magical qbank which will help you become a RN
This is basic math and boggles my mind that people studying for this test who find this difficult to comprehend are possibly our future pharmacists. God help us. Public, count your pills before you leave the pharmacy.
As someone with dyscalculia who has trouble with numbers and formulas, these videos are quite helpful and a nice refresher course for me. Boggles my mind that some people can't comprehend that there are folks with varying levels of learning curves and might need some help along the way. Have a day.

Can anyone say what does UAT and NR means in prescription??
UAT = until all taken
NR= no refills
I hope this helps!
@@stephw6046 thx man for solving my doubts😌
Very helpful!!
Heres one I cant figure out, how much liquid is needed to fill prescription. Albuterol liquid 2 mg pi bid x 10 days. Is the answer 40 mL
Amanda, I don't know what state you are from, Can you also cover the 2022 PTCB exam
Thanks for the great information!
How would you calculate days supply on weekly doses?
So I get this prescription for a lets just say metformin and it says qty #30 take 1 tab every 4 hours no refills. Do I divide? Is it 15 tablets as a day supply or is it 30 days?
If I'm not mistaken, the day supply is 5 tables.
First you find how many times a day taken. cause it's taken every 4 hours 24÷4=6
then 30÷6=5
day supply is 5
@@zaidgebremichael7849 thanks ugh I used 60 instead of 24 hours idk why thanks I forgot we lol use 24 hrs for day 😅

Thankyou somuch for this!! Can you also show how to calculate days supply or quantity dispensed when its weekly injections ? Those are confusing.
Is there any place we can print this information

When do I get to Amanda’s pharmacy tech ❤
Thank you
Not all insulin expired in 28 days...
So, all insulin prescriptions are 28 days
In those examples, that's an i not a 1. If it's supposed to be Roman numerals, it should be upper case.
I find overwhelming while Dr.s write 1÷3etc part of medicine for this much time etc

This was very helpful , but I wish you would go slower.
Anyone else taking the cvs test
Taken this so many times 10 years experience-why are others trying to latch into me? As if I need their assistance???
