Prescriptions
are monitored
Physicians and Pharma
cists work together in all
phases of medicine to assure
that patients get well faster
by using their drugs as in
tended. One area of parti
cular significance is clinical
pharmacy, where hospital
pharmacists closely monitor
patient drug therapy pre
scribed by Physicians.
Here at your own In
dependent Pharmacy we,
too, closely monitor the '
drugs you take. When a
patient refuses his drug for
whatever reason, he's only
short-changing his own
health. My professional ad
vice is to make every effort ,
to fill your prescription and
then take as directed.
Thank you for rwdinf our wwkly
editorials Wt appreciate your in
terest.
