Today I received a prescription for Tylenol 2. Upon pickup, I was served by a young looking guy who I assumed was a pharmacy Tech at the most. After paying he started explaining the drugs to me which is weird because usually it's the pharmacist who does that. His instructions were lame (just read to me what was already written on the bottle) and he seemed overall kind of unsure but I wasn't too concerned and was eager to get back to work (I usually just read the package information inserts anyways).
I saw one bottle in his hand said ratio-lenoltec 3. It was weird to me because it said 3 but I was given Tylenol 2. So I asked him if he was sure they were giving me Tylenol 2 and not Tylenol 3. He said uhh yeah it's the same thing, that's just a lower dose. So I said ok and left.
Half way down the block I received a text asking to go for drinks tonight. Then I remembered that I never asked him about alcohol (I always do when I have to take a prescription). So I decide quickly walk back and ask but this time I show the pharmacist my bottle. She says definitely don't drink. But then something must have triggered her memory because as I was walking away again she yelled back at me and said "hey wait, were you prescribed T2 or T3" and I said T2.
She took the prescription back, right away said they gave me the wrong drug and her student gave me the wrong information. She totally admitted their fault and the her pharmacy student's mistake. You could tell she was embarrassed. Anyways, lucky I got that text and went back to ask about the drinks! Also could have been worse. Maybe they screw it up and give me birth control pills instead
