How is a missed dose of methadone documented by pharmacies?

  1. It's not required to document

  2. In a secure online database

  3. Maintain a log of witnessed and take-home doses

  4. Verbally inform the prescriber

The correct answer is: Maintain a log of witnessed and take-home doses

When a patient misses a dose of methadone, it is important for pharmacies to document this in a log. This is because maintaining a log of witnessed and take-home doses allows for accurate tracking of a patient's medication adherence and can help identify any potential issues or discrepancies. Option A is incorrect because it is actually required to document missed doses of methadone. Option B, although it may seem like a secure option, would not provide the same level of documentation and record-keeping as a log. Option D may be done in addition to option C, but it alone would not suffice as proper documentation of a missed dose.
