When it comes to helping with your medication needs, everyone knows to visit a pharmacist. It’s true they can advise you on the best types of OTC meds and of course understanding your current prescriptions and concerns surrounding them. But there are other ways that your local pharmacist, physicians assistant and nurse practitioner at the MinuteClinic® can advise you that you may not know about! You have an important resource at your fingertips and when it comes to you and your family’s health, its time to take advantage and take charge of your health.
