Wrong method all this while !!

Assalamualaikum,

Pagi ni rasa kecewa. Why? Baru hari ni tahu, lepas tanya student pharmacist, tentang cara-cara nak ambil ubat Omeprazole. Ubat ni doktor prescribe untuk Afiq sejak dari kecil lagi untuk masalah clinical GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease, atau bahasa kampungnya, jeluok susu), rasanya sebelum umur dia cukup sebulan.

All this while, misi suruh (tapi tak pernah pulak confirm dengan doktor) beri ubat ni sekali dengan susu. So, this instruction, we follow to the dot. And Afiq continued to reflux ('jeluok'). And then doctor increased the dosage. And Afiq still refluxed.

This morning, I was informed that this medicine should be taken at least 30 minutes before food. And when I googled the info on omeprazole, I found that the function and performance of omeprazole will be greatly impaired if the medicine is consumed with food in the stomach.

Wow!! So, all this while, we have been giving the medicine in incorrect method! So, okay, starting today, we will change to the correct method and see Afiq's performance. Thank you Izzati for the information.

Now, to think of all those experts (are they really experts?) in nursing (nurse, sister), pharmacy (regsitered pharmacist, PRP) and medical (HO, MO, doktor pakar, HOD paediatric), who gave me WRONG INFORMATION or who are negligence by not confirming that the parents comply to the correct method. The way I see it, negligence can be in 2 ways -

1) do it the wrong way, or inform others to do it the wrong way

2) does not do it (i.e. do nothing).

 

I'll update the status of Afiq using the correct method after 3 days

 

Wassalam.
