We are here to bring to light various topics impacting the field of pharmacy. The information may not apply to you directly. Most pharmacy podcasts are geared towards pharmacists, and we wanted to produce something for the rest of the world that would be both entertaining and enlightening. And of course, pharmacists are always invited to listen, and I hope we'll participate.
There are lots of aspects of pharmacy that are broken and we want to bring awareness to these issues. Also, we want to let you know there are a lot of great things happening and new changes on the horizon. The profession is filled with thousands of highly trained and passionate pharmacists, technicians, and other support people who work really hard to provide the best possible care.
We want to highlight the good and expose the bad and hopeful, hopefully bring about positive changes while also being at least a little bit entertaining.
In this episode we talk about overprescibing of medications, using alternative therapy and lifestyle changes and sinus irrigations. We also highlight the use of generic medications to save on your prescriptions.
