Thanks for listening today! We’d like to remind our listeners, if you suspect you have a medical issue, please contact your healthcare provider. Thanks to our sponsors Mercy Medical Center, Studio Arts & Glass. As always, we thank our listeners for joining us on Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. Have a healthy week and we’ll see you again next Friday right here on News Talk 1480 WHBC.

This episode of Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy covers a variety of services that we offer at your local independent pharmacy. The pharmacist fills a role that covers many aspects of health care. They link the patient to the prescriber and not only check for drug interactions and make sure that your prescription order is accurate, they also help solve problems with insurance billing, manufacturer recalls, and over the counter medication recommendations. Patients visit their pharmacist on average of 12 times a year, making the pharmacist the most accessible health care professional.

In addition to providing services like home delivery and special medication packaging to simplify medication administration, the Medicine Center also offers a Free Kids Vitamin program for kids in grades Kindergarten through Fifth grade. We have convenient pharmacy locations in Canton, Louisville, Minerva, and New Philadelphia, Ohio for you to take advantage of this service.

We also talk about an upcoming informational seminar that pharmacist Brad White will be hosting on September 5th, 2019 about the uses for Low Dose Naltrexone. Low Dose Naltrexone, or LDN, can be of benefit in a variety of autoimmune disorders and chronic pain treatment. You can register here for the seminar to learn more.
