Sample Saudi Prometric Pharmacist Practice Questions

Try these questions from our free Saudi Prometric Pharmacist practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.

1. A community pharmacist in Saudi Arabia notices that a patient is picking up duplicate prescriptions for tramadol from multiple prescribers. What is this practice called and what should the pharmacist do?

   • A. Prescription shopping (doctor shopping) — refuse to dispense duplicate prescriptions and report to SFDA/regulatory authorities
   • B. It is the patient's right to obtain medications from multiple physicians — dispense as presented
   • C. Check with the patient if they are in enough pain to justify the second prescription
   • D. Dispense only the first prescription and discard the second

Answer: A. Prescription shopping (doctor shopping) — refuse to dispense duplicate prescriptions and report to SFDA/regulatory authorities

Prescription shopping (obtaining controlled substances from multiple prescribers) is a criminal offense in Saudi Arabia. Pharmacists have a professional and legal obligation to refuse dispensing duplicate controlled substance prescriptions and report suspected diversion to the SFDA or relevant health authority.

Answer: A. Report the adverse drug reaction (ADR) to SFDA through the national pharmacovigilance reporting system (Saudi Vigilance)

Saudi SFDA requires mandatory reporting of serious and unexpected adverse drug reactions through the Saudi Vigilance system (online, mobile app, or paper form). All healthcare professionals are obligated to report. The national pharmacovigilance system collects data to identify signals and update drug safety information.

Answer: A. Refuse to dispense — the prescription is invalid without a Saudi MOH-licensed prescriber

Saudi law requires controlled substance prescriptions to be written by a licensed Saudi MOH practitioner. A prescription from an unlicensed or foreign prescriber is invalid, and dispensing it constitutes a legal violation. The pharmacist must refuse and explain the requirement to the patient.

Answer: A. Comprehensive medication review — identify and resolve drug therapy problems (DTPs), optimize regimens, enhance adherence, and educate the patient

Pharmaceutical care focuses on identifying and resolving drug therapy problems: untreated conditions, inappropriate drug selection, subtherapeutic/supratherapeutic doses, adverse reactions, drug interactions, and non-adherence. A comprehensive medication review is the cornerstone of pharmacist-managed chronic disease care.
