The provision of Pharmaceutical Care takes on various descriptions. It is a mistake that is made by most consumers of this service that the prescribed drug, in an appropriately labeled prescription vial is the sum total of the pharmacist’s work. In fact, that is just the “middle”. If you’re like millions of Americans who’ve had a prescription filled this year, you’ve seen first hand just one of the many services your pharmacist provides. Your pharmacist can do much more for you than you’ve come to expect. As the most accessible health care provider in the community, your pharmacist is often your first point of contact with the health care system and is an excellent source of information. In addition to advice and information about the best way to take your medicine, your pharmacist can help you with a variety of other health concerns, including help with conditions such as diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. He or she can provide sound, up-to-date advice on staying well and preventing disease. Our focus then is on those “cognitive” services that enhance the effectiveness of the drug treatment whether that be a prescribed medication or one of the many over-the-counter medications used to self-medicate minor illness or injury. This can only be done through a face-to-face interaction between pharmacist and consumer. When necessary, a private consultation is available. Mission
