Conversation
Pharmacist: Good afternoon, how can I help you?
Patient: I want some laxative agent.
Pharmacist: Can you describe your symptoms?
Patient: I feel hard when I pass stool and feel full.
Pharmacist: Have you ever had these symptoms before?
Patient: yes, I usually have at least one week per month.
Pharmacist: How long have you had these symptoms?
Patient: About 1 week ago.
Pharmacist: Have you seen the doctor or take any medicine before?
Patient: No, I haven’t.
Pharmacist: How much water or vegetable do you get in a day?
Patient: I think, about a small bottle of water for a day and I don’t like
vegetable at all.
Pharmacist: How often do you exercise in a week?
Patient: 1- 2 times per month.
Pharmacist: do you any other medical conditions?
Patient: No, I don’t.
Pharmacist: Are you allergic to any medications?
Patient: No, I’m not.
Pharmacist: Ok, I think the reason why you constipated because of eating
low fiber, drinking less than required and lack of exercise. All right I will
give you a bulk-forming agent for constipation, it’s called Mucilin. Mucillin
increases the amount of water in the stool and makes the stool softer.
Patient: Can you tell me how to take Mucilin?
Pharmacist: ok, take mucilin after meal 2 times per day with 150 ml of
water then taking it immediately. And you should drink a lot of water after
taking mucilin.
Pharmacist: Can you tell me how to take this medicine and how to
change your lifestyle again?
Patient: Ok, take mucilin after meal 2 times per day with 150 ml of water
and exercise more, drink a lot of water and eat more fiber.
Patient: Thank you very much. You have been very helpful.
Pharmacist: My pleasure, I hope you get well soon.
