Health Matters: Know Your Pharmacist Know Your Medicine

Know your Pharmacist, Know your Medicine! That catchy phrase

sums up the very important relationship you have with your local

pharmacist. In a recent poll of U.S. individuals 65 years old and older who

use medications, researchers found that 51% take at least five different

prescription drugs regularly, and 25% take between 10 and 19 pills each day.

57% of those polled admit that they forget to take their medications. ….

Medications don’t work in patients who don’t take them! Authors of a

recent study on patient compliance found that a patient’s sense of

connectedness with their pharmacist or pharmacy staff was the survey’s

“single strongest individual predictor of medication compliance.” So, get to

know your pharmacist by name and let us help you know your medicine.

Today and everyday, we offer you both our expertise and our concern.
