SCENE NARRATIVE

Follow a safe non-emergency over-the-counter consultation: the customer describes a sore throat, cough, and congestion; the pharmacist asks about allergies and current prescriptions; shows an over-the-counter pain reliever and cough syrup without prescribing; points to the label, dose, side effects, drowsiness warning, take-with-food direction, and once-a-day example; tells the customer to follow the directions and contact a doctor if symptoms are severe, worsening, or persistent; never diagnose, promise recovery, or tell the customer a personalized dose

At the community pharmacy, a customer tells the pharmacist, "I have a sore throat, a cough, and I feel congested."

The pharmacist asks whether the customer has any allergy or takes any prescription medicine.

The pharmacist shows an over-the-counter pain reliever, some tablets, and a bottle of cough syrup, without diagnosing the illness.

Pointing to the medicine label, the pharmacist explains where to find the dose and whether the directions say once a day or take with food.

The customer asks, "Could this make me drowsy, or cause another side effect?"

The pharmacist says to follow the directions on the package and not exceed the labeled dose.

If anything is unclear, the customer should ask the pharmacist, and should contact a doctor if symptoms are severe, worsening, or persistent.
