Controlled drugs have their own prescription requirements, their own private prescriptions, their own requisition requirements and so much more.

We're back on the narrow therapeutic index drugs! This week, we talk about theophylline and gentamicin, and how to manage toxicity. These two drugs are so commonly tested in the exam and pharmacists are always heavily involved in the prescription of these medicines.
