Dropped Pill On Floor

I have 2 cats.

Dropped pill on floor. To be honest if i d dropped a tablet on the floor at home i d do exactly that. My patient must have read up on mouth mrsa because there was no argument in me getting a fresh pill for him. Y know i ve never had a patient who wanted a pill that was dropped on the floor but have had ones that dropped a pill into the bedding. Some forums can only be seen by registered members.

So there we go. Opened and spilled the contents on the floor before i could get what i needed out of it. I dropped nearly all of my lexapro on the floor in my dorm room kitchen which is simply filthy. I was getting my medicine out of my car and dropped half the bottle on my garage floor.

When you drop a pill on the floor. Yes it s perfectly safe i recently read an article by a microbiost bertrand grimard gatineau and he said that it takes many hours for germs to even begin contaminating something that just fell on the floor. Is there any way i can sanitize them to ease my concern. You don t have as much wiggle room if you lose a progestin only pill.

I picked up all the pills and put them back into the bottle but i m sort of worried about taking them after they were on such a filthy floor. I actually had a dropped pill incident last night and thought of this thread. But then my floors are clean and i m not 85 or immune compromised.
