We have to count all of our lyrica at my job every shift. I was curious as to whether this was just something done at my LTC or if there were other facilities that also counted lyrica.
We dont "count" but we record the number of doses on a flow sheet inthe MAR. Starting dose 35, one dose administered remaining dose 34. The issue was the MDIs (Advair in particular) were not completely through 30 days worth of doses (#60) at the end of the 30 days.....doses not being given presumably. And we also count Lyrica but not tramadol.
