I mean, if that's what the doctor prescribed, then why would that be a problem?

Because that's an incorrect dosing frequency for extended-release oxycodone, which is given every 12 hours. I actually had an order for this exact dose come through to me in the hospital and I called out the doctor on it.

I think part of the confusion in this topic is that folks don't actually know what pharmacists do, what we're trained to do, and what the law says we can do.
