What is required before dispensing medications in prospective Drug Utilization Review (DUR)?

Reviewing the patient's financial records
Screening prescriptions against the patient's medication history
Consultation with a physician
Checking for the cheapest medication alternative

The correct answer is: Screening prescriptions against the patient's medication history

Before dispensing medications in prospective Drug Utilization Review (DUR), it is necessary to screen prescriptions against the patient's medication history. This helps to identify any potential drug interactions or duplications that could put the patient's health at risk. Reviewing the patient's financial records, consultation with a physician, and checking for the cheapest medication alternative are not required before dispensing medications in prospective DUR. These actions may be necessary for other aspects of pharmacy practice, but they are not specific to the Drug Utilization Review process. It is important to focus on the specific requirements for DUR in order to ensure safe and effective use of medications for patients.
