For a second, I thought "maybe they indicate which bits of the braille are relevant" and then I took a long walk and thought about my life choices.
Why does the pharmacist add these little ticks/checkmarks with a pen on my medication box?

They're comparing to the actual medication to make sure they're giving you the right thing.

Ahh, so it's like they're reading from the order/prescription, and say "ok he needs pregabalin - tick - and it's 150mgs - tick - and it's hard capsules - tick", or something to that effect?

Yup. Medication can have pretty similar names for wildly different drugs, so just doing a little due diligence to make sure you don't grow a third ear or something

It is so bad that there is literally a publication of frequently confused drug names (pdf).

Is there a “Postgabalin”?
SGforce@lemmy.ca · 13 pts · 1y
Read it as "Preg-a-bailin" and thought it was highly insensitive.
