Weekly Report - WEEK 5

أهلا و سهلا (ahlaan wa sahlaan) which means welcome in Arabic as it has been so long since my high school that I have not use it. For this week, my colleague and I learning session continues as we learn from all pharmacist about the OTC (over the counter) products starting from basic medicine like Panadols, cough syrup, fever medicines for adults and also children which have different dose. For example like this picture. This is Panadol Suspension for children age 6 years old and above. Before that we have to ask the customer the age and weight of their children so it will be easy for us to decide the dose usage as it is very crucial for every age. 

Panadol Suspension Children 6+ Orange Flavour

This was only one type that I can write here because there were various age and flavour that can be choosen from the preference of the customer also. It is very important to determine and on how to give medicines to the customers and that is why only certified pharmacists can dispense it. They have the license, certificate and also experience. It was very hard at first but when I managed to remember and help them it will get easier. Although this week was actually Christmas day which we do not have holiday. There will be holiday for new year on 1st January. There were a lot of Shopee order within this week because of the sale countdown. People buy more during this pandemic as they did not want to go out. Therefore, there were less of learning and more on handling customers and Shopee products. I think that is all for now. Thank you.
