What services are available at pharmacies?
• 24 Hour Service: The pharmacy is either open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or provides 24-hour on call telephone coverage. • Refill Reminder: The pharmacy will notify patients when their prescription is approaching depletion. • Immunizations (Flu & Pneumonia): The pharmacy is certified to administer flu and pneumococcal disease vaccinations. • Home Delivery: The pharmacy provides prescription drug delivery services. • Drug Compounding: Compounding is the process of mixing drugs by a pharmacist to fit the unique needs of a patient. This may be done for medically necessary reasons to change the form of the medication from a solid pill to a liquid, to avoid a nonessential ingredient that the patient is allergic to, or to obtain the exact dose needed. It may also be done for voluntary reasons such as adding favorite flavors to a medication.
