Do you dispense creams&ointments in proper way?

Dear readers

   A week ago, my friend asked me “bro how you dispense topical drug?”. I answered him “macam biasa, sapu di tempat berkenaan (apply accordingly).” Then i realized am i dispensing correctly? Do i deliver important details to the patients? Why i did”t posses adequate  knowledge about the topical drugs? Where is the proper guidelines? Alot of pharmacist and doctors do have the same question. That inspired me to find proper methods. Im still in the process of developing proper guide(once done i will post). I attached few videos along with this post will help you develop your dispensing skills for topical drugs. Pls do watch it.

This is a guideline newly published by Malaysian health ministry. I found this guide very decent and helpful. I attached Link for download too. http://www.mediafire.com/file/jra60xi37ovbt9h/topical-preparations-counselling-guide-pharmacist-ed1.pdf/file
