For years, the neighborhood pharmacy has been the first resort for people who need professional healthcare attention. You can talk about your medications with your pharmacist to help you understand how your meds work.
As a leading retail pharmacy in Gastonia, North Carolina, You 1st Pharmacy brings personalized pharmacist consultation to the next level. Don’t hesitate to discuss these things with us:
- All Medications You’re Taking
Visit our pharmacy in North Carolina and tell us what meds you’re currently on (including over-the-counter products) to help us review potential drug interactions or allergies before we refill your prescriptions.
- Side Effects
Though it sounds ubiquitous, always ask your pharmacist regarding medication side effects and how to address the symptoms. The pharmacist can educate you about the risks and benefits of a specific drug.
- Generic vs Branded Drugs
By law, generic and branded medications should contain the same active ingredients although manufacturers can add inactive elements to a product (e.g., flavor, color, etc.). Upon introducing a new drug, the branded meds may also be subject to US patent laws.
Did You Know?
Some generic medications are produced by the same manufacturer of branded drugs.
The list above is only a fraction of what you can expect from our pharmaceutical services in Gastonia, North Carolina. Our calendar gets full quickly so book an appointment now with our pharmacist!
