Care is the cornerstone of our practice
It’s impossible to return medications. And it is wrong to dispose of it in waste bins or flush it down the toilet. Take the best step of contacting us to get the best directives on how to carry out appropriate disposal that won”t harm people around.
Be it the pills you got at the pharmacy is different from what you are accustomed to, or not similar to the sample the doctor gave you, always contact the pharmacy before taking the pills. However, similar medications may vary in appearance when produced by different manufacturers.
Reaction to medication is different for each individual. When experiencing either physical irritation such as nausea or headache, ensure you call your doctor. Should the pain become severe or resulting in shortness of breath, call for an emergency!
Yes, a third-party can pick your medication for you. However, it’s necessary to inform the pharmacy in advance to make the process smooth. Additionally, such an individual will be required to tender a valid government-issued ID and, of course, will be required to append a signature. Payment will also be made.
When you skip a dose, don’t try to overdose in the next. Contact the pharmacy to get the proper direction as to what to do. Also, do not apply whatever advice we’re given in another situation or to someone else. Why? This is because direction on the use of drugs is never the same. Always contact the pharmacy!
Identifying medications is in two major ways. One is used by the doctor and the other by the pharmacy, and this can be quite confusing. One way is using the brand name or the chemical name. Doctors use the brand name in most cases while the name printed on the label attached is usually the chemical name. The chemical name on the headline is what you will see boldly when the pharmacist hands you the medication.
When you are going on vacation, and your medication won’t last you the entire time, ensure to notify the pharmacy in advance. The pharmacy will review your request and decide on an early refill or arrange for a shipment to your location.
