MAINE PHARMACISTS, STUDENT PHARMACISTS, AND INDUSTRY LEADERS TO CELEBRATE THE PROFESSION WITH “ASK YOUR PHARMACISTS DAY AT THE LEGISLATURE”
WHAT:
- Pharmacists and Student Pharmacists will be providing free blood pressure checks, blood glucose screenings, and will be available for personal consultations to ensure that each person is not using or storing expired medications and is not taking medications, that, when taken together, could cause unwanted side effects.
- First steps to improving medication use include the person’s knowing the names of all medications (prescription and nonprescription) and why he or she is taking them–as well as knowing his or her pharmacist so he or she may ask questions. The brown bag review is a great way to advance the American Pharmacists Association theme, “Know Your Medicine. Know Your Pharmacist.”
WHEN:
- April 27, 2011, 1:30pm-4pm
WHERE:
- Maine State House Hall of Flags
- 210 State Street
- Augusta, ME
WHY:
- By speaking with their pharmacists about their medicines, patients can achieve healthier results. Know Your Medicine — Know Your Pharmacist.
- Find out how to store medications safely, what questions to ask about your medicines, and which nonprescription medicines should not be taken with certain prescription medications.
