A client was prescribed M-Eslon 10 mg once daily at bedtime (quantity authorized in prescription: 30 capsules), but requested to change it to M-Eslon 5 mg twice daily. Can I adapt the prescription to make the change?

Yes. As long as the quantity dispensed does not exceed the stated amount authorized in the prescription, the pharmacist may utilize PPP-58 if the adaptation benefits the client (Policy Statement 13.b.ii). When the pharmacist adapts to 5mg twice daily, the pharmacist may dispense up to 60 capsules of the 5mg dose.
