Mouth Gargle to be ingested???

This is my monotonous lunch break ever. I dun bring my car today because i'm on my way 'pulang ke kampung berhari raya', then terpaksalah melepak-lepak di bilik rehat sambil surfing n blogging. Actually, there was a case Mrs. Lim n I discovered during dispensing time, today. Terpaksa tahan gelak time tu sampai muka dah jadi merah. There was 1 patient came over to collect his medication, a chinese old man. He complained of stomach discomfort after ingesting 1 of his medication. I was not sure wheather the dispenser told him wrongly or he got a problem wif his hearing. But the case was, he had taken a spoonful of Benzynamide (Difflam) mouth gargle, two times a day which he really thought was a cough mixture. As we checked his medication, we found that, he had finished the medication completely, OMG. Actually, this case may happen to anybody. Make sure, u know all the indication of ur medication u take and the dispensers should be more careful next time.

interesting story..mungkin dia salah phm rinse mouth twice a day & take twice a day. nampak ada 'mouth' dia ingat blh diminum.

Tp.. ubt cuci mulut ni bkn bau dia kita boleh tau.pas2, ada labelling lagi. Ishhh.Kesian giler kt dia. Dapat bygkan kalau kita sendiri mkn cecair mouth gargle 2x sehari... OMG!

to Amin:
Akk pn xtau la Amin. Byk kemungkinan. May be die x phm bahasa melayu yg tertera kt label tu, or dispenser tersalah ckp, or die terslh dengar n mcm2 lg. Hehe. Pe2 pn, kitorg dh betulkan lps incedent tu. Hopefully patient tu ikut intruction yg btul after kitorg xplained kt die.

to Azri:
lps ni tpakse la die cover minum vitagen byk2 blk, krng ade yg nk kne constipation. hahaha. 'Bacteria-free'......
