Why is a pharmacist important to my health?
Selecting the right pharmacy is an important part of your overall health. An excellent medical team includes a pharmacy and pharmacist capable of caring for each patient’s specific needs. Our pharmacists are knowledgeable on the uses and effects of drugs and interactions with other drugs. They can help monitor these factors and advise patients on medication usage. They can also provide guidance for over-the-counter medications and remedies used to treat non-serious medical conditions, such as a cold, headache or upset stomach as well as offer wellness options for vitamins and supplements.
