example 1

[0030]Currently, to premedicate a patient undergoing a procedure requiring injection of contrast agent for imaging, the physician would need to write: a) one prescription for prednisone (e.g. 50 mg) with instructions to take 13 hours before the procedure, seven hours before the procedure and one hour before the procedure; b) a second prescription for diphenhydramine HCL (25 mg) with instructions to take one hour before the procedure; and c) a third prescription for Cimetidine (e.g. 300 mg) with instructions to take one hour before the procedure. However, with the pre-med package of the present invention, the physician would need to write only one prescription, e.g. Pre-Med Pack A. Such Pre-Med Pack A would contain these medications with dosage and time instructions.

example 2

[0031]Currently, to premedicate a patient undergoing a procedure requiring injection of contrast agent for imaging, the physician would need to write: a) one prescription for methylprednisone (e.g. 32 mg) with instructions to take 12 hours before the procedure and two hours before the procedure; b) a second prescription for diphenhydramine HCL (e.g. 50 mg) with instructions to take 12 hours before the procedure and two hours before the procedure; and c) a third prescription for Cimetidine (e.g. 300 mg) with instructions to take 12 hours before the procedure and two hours before the procedure. However, with the pre-med package of the present invention, the physician would need to write only one prescription, e.g. Pre-Med Pack B. Such Pre-Med Pack B would contain these medications with dosage and time instructions.

[0032]As can be appreciated, the single prescription of the present invention simplifies the prescribing and administering of the medications. FIG. 1 illustrates one example...

Background of Related Art[0005]Currently, in many instances, certain combinations of prescription medications are required. In such combinations, the selection of the medications as well as the time periods for taking the medications are essential. Although there are certain established guidelines for such prescriptions, they may still vary among practitioners. Part of this variation is due to differing surgical protocols for which the medications are targeted. Problems may arise as practitioners individually prescribe these medications....
