Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / medication
Dutch term or phrase: uitvullen
This is from a description of a partial qualification of a pharmacy technician (apothekersassistent), and the description is as follows:
"De leerling kan het product uitvullen en inpakken". The product in this context is the medicine. I do get a lot of Google hits varying from "Recepten typen en uitvullen" to "herhaalmedicatie uitvullen" to "insulineampullen uitvullen". I wonder if it is simply "dispensing" but am not sure and would like your imput!

many thanks

fill
Explanation:
Ik ben opgegroeid in de apotheek en ik ben het met Josephine eens dat het neerkomt op het hele proces van een 'recept klaarmaken' of eigenlijk 'vervullen'.

Volgens mij dus 'fill prescriptions'

Nog eens terug naar de oorspronkelijke zin: leerling kan het product uitvullen en verpakken

Wie heeft de leerling verteld welk product het moet zijn en hoeveel?
Waarschijnlijk het recept (het lezen van het recept).
Dus leerling loopt naar de juiste locatie en pakt het juiste product, en
vult de juiste hoeveelheid uit in een (passende) houder (doos, pot, fles).

Als de juiste hvh in de pot/fles/doos zit kan de leerling het ook verpakken (waarschijnlijk in een zak) en hopelijk met het juiste label erop, want anders moet de leerling weer van voren af aan beginnen omdat niemand zou weten wat er in de verpakking zit.

Ergo.... uitvullen komt al met al neer op het 'hele' proces...:
The student is able to fill a prescription, more specifically, the student is able to dispense the right amount of the prescription into a dispenser and package/wrap the dispenser.

I think dispensing meds refers more to a licensing level, as in the license to dispense medications, while filling prescriptions refers to the practical/actual work.

Here is actually support for this:
Students taking at least 1 credit can fill prescriptions at the Health Service Pharmacy.

Hi Willemina,
Thanks for choosing my answer. I'd like to make a note, however, that in my mind it needs to be 'fill prescriptions' and not 'fill in prescriptions'.

Thanks to everyone for the discussion and help. I also have discussed this with my client (the actual student) and he claimed that "fill in" would be the right expression. Hence the points go to you!

aliquot


Explanation:
Ik ben niet 100% zeker dat het werkwoord "to aliquot" in deze context algemeen wordt gebruikt, het wordt zeker wel gebruikt voor het uitvullen van monsters en chemicaliën. Zoeken op "aliquot the drug" geeft ook wel wat hits. Beide voorbeeldzinnen komen uit dezelfde genoemde webverwijzing.

Example sentence(s):
  • We do not want to aliquot the drug ourselves because of the risk of infection
  • We selected the compounding pharmacy we use based upon their experience and their procedures for aliquoting.

dose


Explanation:
uitvullen usuall = fill in / complete
Maybe dose is meant here. I.e. preparing the right quantity and packing it.

or "dosing". That's precisely what is meant when a smaller quantity is measured out from a larger one.

Reference: Fill/fill out

Reference information:
http://www.ushealthy.com/Medicine/2645/Canadian-Pharmacy-Pre...
Some Canadian pharmacies have however, implemented many measures to gain trust of the customer based in US. Most notable among them is arranging for a visit by a Canada based physician to the patient in US for examining him before filling out a prescription. All this is happening while the business for Canadian firms is growing by leaps and bounds. Canadian firms are now filling out prescriptions like never before. Some firms have claimed to have filled as much as 3000 prescriptions a day indicating the volume of business catered to by these pharmacies.

http://www.pharmacy.ca.gov/licensing/prescribe_dispense.shtm...
Can a California pharmacy fill a controlled substance prescription from an out of state prescriber for a patient in California?
California Code of Regulations section 1717(d), in accordance with Business and Professions Code section 4005(b), allows written and oral prescriptions from out-of-state prescribers. Pharmacies must verify the prescription. The pharmacist should use his or her best professional judgment when filling out-of-state prescriptions.

neutral  Josephine Isaacs (X): To fill a prescription is the complete process: it includes uitvullen, but is much more, as Barend described in his post.
