Get out your walking shoes and
walk Sunday for benefit of the

CROP Walk, the annual 6.2 mile
walk, cranks up at 2 p.m. at Central

plan to walk the full route but
walkers are invited from the whole
community. Church members and
civic leaders are working to get
pledges and walkers this week to
help the Christian Rural Overseas

ey raises stays in Kings Mountain
to help support the Kings Mountain
Crisis Ministry.
Publicity chairman Geeper
Howard urge businesses and clubs
to sponsor walkers or give grants
or pledges themselves.
"This is a most worthy project.
Kings Mountain citizens have al-
ways been generous in giving to
help the less fortunate and we an-
ticipate many will want to come
out on Sunday," said Howard.

National Pharmacy Week
October 25-31 has been desig-
nated as "National Pharmacy:
Week" and this year's theme is
"Communicate Before You
Medicate." This message is to re-
mind everyone who has any ques-
tions concerning their medications,
whether a prescription from their
physician or an over-the-counter
drug, to ask their pharmacist or
doctor.
David G. Shipper, Director of
Pharmacy Services at Kings
Mountain Hospital, wants people
to realize that their pharmacist is
an excellent source of information
on medication effects, side effects,
constraindications, and specific
cautions of almost every medica-
tion in use today. Pharmacists
spend an average of five years in
this specialized area of health care.
They are also required to maintain
current knowledge by completing
mandatory continuing education
yearly in order to obtain a license
from the North Carolina Board of
Pharmacy.
According to a recent Gallup
Poll survey of consumers, pharma-
cists have been rated number one
for honesty and ethical standards
among professionals for the last
four years. As health care reform is
in the forefront of many peoples’
minds now, today's pharmacists are
taking position, beside physicians
and nurses, on the health care
team. Their expertise can add to
lower costs and faster recovery in
many cases.
The theme "Communicate
Before You Medicate" is extremely
important in the daily changes be-
ing made in the health care deliv-
ery system. Pharmacists have
available a vast array of resources
to answer your medication ques-
tions. Computers have enabled
them to detect many drug interac-
tions which may occur when multi-
ple medications are taken. Several
of these include taking a certain
antihistamine (Seldane or
Hisminal) with the antibiotic
Erythromycin or Nizoral (an anti-
fungal medicine), or using a nico-
tine patch to aid in quitting smok-
ing while still smoking any tobacco
product.
In a hospital setting these inter-
action are easier to detect since all
medications come from one phar-
macy service department. This ‘en-
ables the pharmacist to contact the
attending physician of any major
problems. That is why it is impor-
tant for people to communicate
with their pharmacist z out their
medications. They are ‘concerned
with your health and safety.
Even though only one week is
officially "national Pharmacy
Week," the theme needs to be re-
membered every week of the year.
For questions about any medica-
tions, ask your professional phar-
macist.
