Case scenario
Ping, 45, is a regular patient of the pharmacy and presents a repeat script for nortriptyline. He has had a partial response to this medicine, reporting improvements in chronic pain. When you inquire about any potential new medicines, he mentions he recently visited a new GP who prescribed a trial of a THC-dominant medicinal cannabis flower dried for vaporization, which he is yet to have dispensed. The new GP was not aware of his nortriptyline use.
