Check Out PHARMATIVE ONE First | By J. Partyka, PharmD, BCPS, RPh | PHARMATIVE ONE- Your On-line Medication Experts
As a pharmacist, I have many family members and friends who feel overwhelmed when they walk into a pharmacy or store searching for an Over the Counter (OTC) medication for a common ailment. Often times, I see patients quickly walking and frantically looking for the “right” medication in the array of brand names, advertisements and warnings on the brightly colored boxes. Which medication is best for my child, my parent, or me?
Often my family and friends express to me that they feel reassured when they have the opportunity to speak with my pharmacist when purchasing an OTC medication. Most U.S. trained and licensed pharmacists attend college for a minimum of 6 to 8 years studying about medications and how they work best for patients, often they complete specialized residencies and fellowships. In 1990, I completed my oncology residency at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. Unfortunately, a pharmacist may not be immediately available for me to ask or is not present at the closest store to my home. Is this OTC medicine safe for me considering that I have high blood pressure? Is this medicine effective in relieving my heartburn? Is this expensive medicine the best for me to relieve my headache? What’s the difference between this product and that product besides the packaging? Is this medicine safe for my child? Is a generic medication available instead of the brand name at a lower cost?
PHARMATIVE ONE will provide you with accurate information pertaining to OTC medications and will provide you with our best recommendation for common ailments based on safety, efficacy and expense. So, the next time you’re in need of an OTC medication checkout PHARMATIVE ONE first before you leave your house and go to the pharmacy.
