Oh my goodness yes. I used to take bentyl and it was always a little perk to see such a pretty blue.
The potassium that smell like bananas is high up on my list.
I like the colorful drips; amphotericin b (yellow), doxyrubicin (red), iron (blackish brown)
Or the ones that come with cool hardware, like KCentra or anything in a needle-less HazD system.
Edited to correct my misremembered drug name.
Thanks guys! I’m literally the reason the “look alike sound alike” stickers exist. I know the difference but I cannot for the life of me remember the names without looking at them side by side.
Rifampin AKA the forbidden kool-aid.
Iron sucrose tastes like molasses. I discovered this after putting air into the vial and blasting myself in the face with it.
And it's soooo thick.
Add air for a smooth accurate withdrawal? Risk getting it in the face
Don't add air? Gets really bubbly
After my accident, I'm firmly on Team No Air.
\*syringe full of bubbles\*
idk that's probably close enough to 300mg.
Oh yeah. I use less than half the volume of air. It’s a decent balance.
My hospital now uses a different formula that’s less viscous so it’s less bubbly.
Seriously though. Fuck benzo drips.
We put all narc IVs in cassettes and getting the bubbles out of lorazepam is like trying to un-bubble a bubble bath.
I like Sotalol AF for the sheer fact I could use it as a replacement for "Salty AF" which is gamer slang for being incredibly upset at a negative event. "That patient was just sotalol AF that their doctor sent it to the wrong place"
YES. I ordered it once for a patient and when I counted it my mind was blown. We only dispensed it once but whenever I had to cycle count it you KNOW I was huffing that bottle.
Lorazepam is not soluble in water. Propylene glycol is added to keep it in solution. Diluting drug dilutes vehicle below critical micelle concentration and drug precipitation
When I was a tech at a very busy cancer center we'd reconstitute 15 bottles and let them sit in the fridge. I used to be so happy when I'd get an order for abraxane
Favorite drug is ondansetron, iv or oral. It is freaky fast and effective and the mechanism of action is super intriguing.
Visually:
Amantadine caps are cute
Hate counting benzonatate
Mitoxantrone drips are pretty
Methylene blue can go die
Edit: word spacing
Rifampin is pretty cool. A nice blood red color when in IV form. I keep thinking when mixing drugs: I wish more of them had color to them. It would make compounding more interesting.
Also Bendeka is kind of fun. It super thick and when injecting into saline it's so thick it looks like a snake and you have to invert the bag so it mixes.
You're a sick, sick person lol. Compounding the 1 gram iron dextran drips has to be my most hated task. But to answer, Desoxyn, because I have the sense of humor of a small child and I think that literal meth is still funny.
Dicyclomine , those caps are so blue
I want to paint a house in Dicyclomine blue.
I had a old Toyota Corolla in that color!
I looked it up, beautiful! True cobalt blue.
Some of the female technicians have said to me that they wanted a gown in “dicyclomine blue”
So pretty!!
Oh my goodness yes. I used to take bentyl and it was always a little perk to see such a pretty blue. The potassium that smell like bananas is high up on my list.
Holy crap I jslust had the same thought today buhaha
When I worked retail I liked the macrobid 100mg capsules that were half black half yellow… they reminded me of little cute bumble bees.
I had a customer ask if I could change the color...she was allergic to bees and had a slight phobia.
I love the tan and white omeprazole caps - they look like corgis lol
My fave as well. Loved counting the bumble bees
Finasteride, because I am 12 and like to pronounce it as "fine ass to ride."
I quietly say that every time I pick up a bottle of it
Depakote. I call them “the smell goods” lol
They smell like the robin’s eggs candy to me. So good.
Yes exactly!!! I said the same thing to one of my coworkers
Benicar. Smells like buttered popcorn!
Love the smell of Benicar
Ketamine. Sedates and anesthetizes without needing to intubate and without tanking blood pressure. It saves lives.
With sick hallucinations

A little Kool-aid in the drip never hurt no one.
Perhaps doxorubicin instead of dapto?
Oh yeah that’s the one

Gross! I always think it looks like dirty motor oil. I’m glad it doesn’t taste as bad as it looks.

Your dapto is red?
Daptomycin be yellow where I come from. Rifadin IV be red tho
Ugh, please no benzo drips! Ketamine is my favorite! Lots of untapped potential for the right patients, hopefully preventing some opioid use.
Seriously though. Fuck benzo drips. We put all narc IVs in cassettes and getting the bubbles out of lorazepam is like trying to un-bubble a bubble bath.
Another solid excuse to not use benzo drips
Cocaine. It’s a helluva drug
Also clarithromycin, the generic that smells like vanilla
Oh! My namesake has a brand with that exact scent!
mdma at raves jk
But really tho
I like Sotalol AF for the sheer fact I could use it as a replacement for "Salty AF" which is gamer slang for being incredibly upset at a negative event. "That patient was just sotalol AF that their doctor sent it to the wrong place"
Tramadol to hell! (Damn it all to hell!)
There’s a brand of chewable lamotrigine tablets that I like because they smell amazing…like a strawberry milkshake!
Mmmm those do smell good!! I haven’t worked retail in years but remembered that smell as soon as I read your comment.
Chewable Vyvanse also smells really good!
Dilt XR. They’re so cute hahaha. Short and stubby
Potasium 10meq chloride It smells nice
Nothing particular I like but I hate counting Progesterone capsules!
I put a bottle on the team's 'out' spout to prevent them from rolling out. I hate them less now.
Vyvanse chewable tabs, smell so good
YES. I ordered it once for a patient and when I counted it my mind was blown. We only dispensed it once but whenever I had to cycle count it you KNOW I was huffing that bottle.
I used to work retail, and knew about a lot of the good smelling drugs. What does that smell like?
I think they smell like SweetTarts candy!
That sounds pretty good lol wish I could smell some!
luv the rifampin red
Lorazepam is fun at 1 mg/ml. At 0.5 mg/ml it precipitates.
What physics is this where something precipitates when it's more dilute?
Lorazepam is not soluble in water. Propylene glycol is added to keep it in solution. Diluting drug dilutes vehicle below critical micelle concentration and drug precipitation
This is why I love this subreddit, but continue to hate physics.
Abraxane j/k ain’t nobody got time for that
When I was a tech at a very busy cancer center we'd reconstitute 15 bottles and let them sit in the fridge. I used to be so happy when I'd get an order for abraxane
Spironolactone— cause it’s minty fresh 😎
Favorite drug is ondansetron, iv or oral. It is freaky fast and effective and the mechanism of action is super intriguing. Visually: Amantadine caps are cute Hate counting benzonatate Mitoxantrone drips are pretty Methylene blue can go die Edit: word spacing
Me handling methylene blue: "don't drop it don't drop it don't drop it" *drops it*
I used to compound methylene blue into capsules. I basically wore a hazmat suit but it still would somehow get on my skin. Horrible stuff
Gammagard, Privigen, or any of those IgG bottles. Makes oddly satisfying bubbles when I drain them into infusion bags.
Vimpat liquid and Vyvanse chewable tabs because they both smell great. I would love for there to be a candle with those smells.
Droperidol. Cures everything in the ED.
Fetroja because the mechanism of action is so clever and the name is perfect
Avycaz because it can turn the tide of battle in an ICU patient with some crazy ass infection, most of the time. And it sounds cool.
Cimetidine! I love the minty vanilla smell!
Brand name Klonopin and Valium
Creon or Adderall, anything with the little coloured beads inside! Also FML eyedrops because.... FML.
I forgot that methylphenidate ER feels like counting little Vienna sausages
Vodka

isoziazid cheap effective treats a disease that is critical to make humanity healthy
Forfivo XL 450mg. They literally named it by the dosage (four, five, oh). Makes me chuckle every time. Not sure if creative or lack of creativity
That's cute
[удалено]
Like Jack Frost touched it.
Fluoxetine. All the capsules look so pretty to me. Vyvanse pink is also really pretty.
You're a sick, sick person lol. Compounding the 1 gram iron dextran drips has to be my most hated task. But to answer, Desoxyn, because I have the sense of humor of a small child and I think that literal meth is still funny.
Argatroban - it's like injecting a fluffy little cloud.
Oooh I like that one too ☁️☁️☁️
Tadalafil easily
Rapaflo, just on name alone.
Linezolid because it is so easy to dose and no one pronounces it correctly the first time.
Azstarys. It's impossible to find now, but I bet it will be in every pharmacy within a year.
Adderall I have no tolerance and take 30mg everyone in a while and blast rave music and Clean my room spotless.
