Your local pharmacist plays an important role in your overall healthcare plan and is essential to your health and well-being. Pharmacists are a direct link between the patient and the provider. They are accessible, have experience working with many medications and want to help patients understand their prescriptions as best as possible. Safety First Keeping you safe should be your pharmacy’s top priority. Your local pharmacist can double-check your medications to ensure they are safe to combine. They can also ensure your prescriptions are working to improve the health conditions your provider prescribed them for.
