any quebec pharmacist here?

[DouMan]

Suspicion of what ? That you need the pill help … what's is wrong with that ?

Going out on a limb here and lets just say this is a possibility not necessarily regarding our OP ...

- Dad occasionally or often buys blue pills

- Mom and Dad for whatever reason rarely, if ever, have sex now

- Son or daughter has access to prescribed meds file

See the awkwardness developing more and more ??

It's only a thought ...

If he and the spouse do nothing ..I hope no one ( even the wife and daugther ) believe he is having none.. women know us men better than that.

Successful long term relationships are often based on neglecting reality. It is different to think something than having it in your face.

I am assuming daughter spends 0 time wondering how often her parents have sex and wife thinks it is just a temporary phase, we are not having sex now but it has been a few months maybe a year? Wait, Obama was in his first term when we last had sex????

The pharmacist doesn't enter manually the prescription in the DSQ, it's done automatically by the system. DSQ and the pharmacy operating system are 2 different entities that are connected. If there's no reason for your daughter to go check in the DSQ for meds in other pharmacy, she will not have seen your prescription. Usually the pharmacist check in the DSQ if he has suspicion that patient is taking meds in an another pharmacy or if he wants to check lab results.

Pharmacists always check the list of the medications to ensure that there are no interactions.

these last 2 posts contradict each other lol

@Manofculture your point seems more plausible to me because the system should be designed such that if you want more info you have to go look for it, to protect or give the semblance of protecting privacy.

and @sam311 your statement doesent ring true because a lot medications are so commonly prescribed and banale, checking consistently for interactions is inefficient...but i could be wrong

Like i said the devil is in the details...

"A healthcare professional here ‍⚕️ I won’t reveal my exact position though

When a pharmacy renews your prescription, they usually won’t check the DSQ to see what else you’re taking, but as soon as a new prescription is added, they will do it 100%—it’s the law!

Here are the options available to you:

1- You can always opt out of the DSQ by making a request on the government website.
2- You can obtain this pill from a pharmacy other than Jean Coutu and ask the pharmacists to exclude it from the DSQ.
3- The safest option is to buy the medication with your Quebec prescription but from a pharmacy in Ontario.

A pharmacist/doctor/nurse who treats you has the right to consult your file, however, you can always access the names of people who have viewed your file through the government website. You just need to make the request, receive a code by mail (post), and then you will have access to an online platform that allows you to see everything.

You got almost everything right Number 1,3 and your conclusion is right but there's absolutely no law that forces a pharmacist to check the DSQ ( in Quebec ) before delivering a prescription and you cant opt out just one prescription in the DSQ, it's either all of them or everything is put in. Would be quite dangerous to take just one specific medication at risk of interaction out of the DSQ and leave everything else .

i would have to get it delivered somewhere else other than my home...i thought of opening a po box, but that comes with it's own set of risks...

I understand your worry but really from her perspective, the last thing she wants to know is any info on her parents sexual life. Think about it, how often have you dug into your own parents sexuality? Has she seen it ? Maybe, but I'm pretty sure she thought you were like the other hundreds of older men she saw that month taking the pill to please their wife. However, if you ever had (or need) treatment for an STD, then I would be worried and definitely not get any medication from her. As a pharmacist she does have access to medications AND lab results... That would be awkward, but the blue pill ? Wink and say "Don't tell my secret recipe for keeping mommy happy" (at least use it with your wife now and then...).

It's a common prescription. In the pharmacy no one is judged for needing to take viagra. Honestly whenever anyone is filling their prescriptions and they mention they are going on vacation I ask them if they want their 4 pill box as well for while they are on their trip.

It is your medical file and isn't up for discussion. I have also seen men who don't want their wives to know of they take it. We just put an alert note in the file for their privacy and ensure no one makes a slip up.

As far as your daughter being a pharmacist, you could always just request privacy. I know a pharmacist who refuses to handle his father's prescriptions for this reason, because he knows it is common for men to need this medication at a point in their lives and he likes thinking the only time his mom and dad were busy was to conceive him and his siblings. (Some kids never grow up. Lol)

You could just request someone else fills your prescriptions, as it is part of the pharmacists job with every new prescription, to check interactions with all active prescriptions in the file. Many just don't handle family files for these very reasons.

Actually with having worked in the lab for over a decade, I have developed many ways to refer to these pills in ways to be discreet when asking someone if they wanted them, or letting them know we recieved a new prescription for them.
