"Di-clo-fe-nicle Or DICLOFENAC" See how a woman could have possibly put herself in trouble...

DICLOFENICLE VS DICLOFENAC – X-raying the Importance of proper writing, spelling and pronunciation of Drug names…

Madam, did the Doctor write out any drug for you to buy? I asked, as I assessed the medication profile of one of my patients at a female surgical and Orthopaedic ward. She quickly replied, Yes O! Diclo-fe-ni-cle!!! I have sent my sister to buy it for me? 
Nooo Ma! I replied politely with a smile, It is Di-clo-fe-nac and not Di-clo-fe-nicle. There is an antibiotic called Chloramphenicol and it is different from the analgesic Diclofenac. If she tells them Di-clo-fe-nicle, a careless dispenser who may not be a Pharmacist may issue out the wrong drug and this can lead to treatment failure as well as adverse effects.
