Pharmacy Technician Certification Exam Practice Questions Practice Question

Which of the following medications must be dispensed in the manufacturer's original container?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Linzess must be dispensed in the manufacturer's original container to maintain its stability and prevent moisture exposure, which can affect its efficacy. Lotensin, Lunesta, and Lipitor can be safely stored in standard pharmacy containers without compromising their effectiveness. Lotensin (an antihypertensive) and Lipitor (a cholesterol-lowering agent) are stable in typical pill bottles. Lunesta, a sleep aid, also does not require the original container for stability. Thus, only Linzess has specific storage requirements that necessitate its original packaging.
