Getting a Prescription Filled

प्रेस्क्रिप्सन औषधि लिने

Health

Context: A patient takes their prescription to a pharmacy and asks about the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.

Pharmacist

English

Hello! Do you have a prescription to fill today?

ग्राहक

नेपाली

हो, डाक्टरले यो प्रेस्क्रिप्सन दिनुभयो। यो PBS औषधि हो कि होइन?

Pharmacist

English

Let me check. Yes, this medication is listed under the PBS, so it's subsidised. With a Medicare card, you'll pay six dollars and ninety cents.

ग्राहक

त्यो त सस्तो रहेछ। यो औषधि कसरी खानुपर्छ?

Pharmacist

English

Take one tablet twice a day, morning and evening, with food. Don't take it on an empty stomach as it may cause nausea.

ग्राहक

नेपाली

के यसको कुनै साइड इफेक्ट छ?

Pharmacist

English

Some people may experience drowsiness or mild dizziness. Avoid driving until you know how it affects you. Also, don't drink alcohol while taking this medication.

ग्राहक

नेपाली

बुझें। यो औषधि सकिएपछि फेरि प्रेस्क्रिप्सन चाहिन्छ?

Pharmacist

English

Your doctor has put five repeats on this prescription, so you can come back when you need more. Each repeat is valid for twelve months from the date it was written.

ग्राहक

नेपाली

धन्यवाद। अनि मसँग हेल्थकेयर कार्ड भएको भए अझ सस्तो हुन्थ्यो?

Pharmacist

English

Yes, concession card holders pay even less. If you have one, bring it next time and we'll apply the reduced rate.
