Your pharmacist will take you through a few easy steps:
2. Your pharmacist will collect your medical information and enter it into a secure computer program that organizes your medical history. You will asked to come into the pharmacy to take a look at your medical history in person.
3. Once the information is collected and organized, your pharmacist will go through the information with you and provide you with a report detailing where you may be able to improve your use of medication.
