a pharmacy technician should identify that levothyroxine (synthroid) should have which of the following auxiliary labels on the bottle?
○ \take on an empty stomach.\

Explanation:

First Question (List of Approved Medications)

• Formulary: A formulary is a list of medications approved for purchase, stocking, and use by a facility (like a hospital or pharmacy).
• Controlled Substances Schedule: Classifies controlled drugs by their potential for abuse, not a list of approved meds for a facility to use.
• Medication Administration Record (MAR): Records medication administration to patients, not a list of approved meds to stock.
• Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP): Monitors controlled substance prescriptions, not a list of approved meds for a facility.

Levothyroxine (Synthroid) is a thyroid hormone medication. It should be taken on an empty stomach (typically 30 - 60 minutes before food) for optimal absorption. So the auxiliary label "Take on an empty stomach" is appropriate.

Answer:

A. Formulary

Second Question (Levothyroxine Auxiliary Label)

(Note: The visible option is "Take on an empty stomach," which is correct for levothyroxine (Synthroid) as it's absorbed best on an empty stomach. Assuming this is the only visible option and it's correct.)
