Don’t Shoot the Pharmacist: Video

You may have seen the trailer for a new film titled “Don’t Shoot the Pharmacist” in the Featured Video section of this website.

The film was written, directed, and produced by Dave Broitman, RPh. and stars Cash Cab’s Ben Bailey as Zack Wright, a Pharmacist stuck on a zany graveyard shift in Brooklyn who must do everything in his power to simply surive the night.

Dave was kind enough to send me a link to an additional scene from the movie, located at the video section on the website of one of the film’s actors.

Go to myles.macvane.com, Click on VIDEOS then DON’T SHOOT THE PHARMACIST. Watch, Laugh, Enjoy.

CPhTLink.com will keep you posted with news and videos as they are made avilable.

20 CE hours for $24.00

Joe Medina at TechLectures is running a special for his MySpace members, where you can get 20 CE credits for only $24.00. That is two years worth of credits required for recertification by the PTCB.

I am sure this is a limited time offer, advertised only for the members of his “RX Tech Talk” MySpace group. But, if you are not a member, just ask nicely… tell him I sent you. He’ll probably give you the deal anyway.

It’s a bargain if you ask me. Sure, I link to Pharmacy CE’s on powerpak. But just how usefull are most of them to today’s technician? Mr. Mendina composed these lessons with the tech in mind. So you are sure to get something out of it.

Generic Risperdal

The Food & Drug Administration has approved the first generic version for the Risperdal. Pharmacies can buy varying strengths of risperidone tablets from TEVA Pharmaceuticals or they can purchase an authorized generic version from Patriot Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of McNeil-PPC. Both Patriot and Janssen are part of Johnson & Johnson.

The Food & Drug Administration cautions that the labeling of the generic risperidone may differ from that of Risperdal because some uses of the drug are protected by patents and exclusivity. Risperdal is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric conditions.
