Description
Pharmacy Professionals have always played an important role in recommending OTC products (Non-Prescription Drugs) to help patients deal with their health issues. By asking their patients appropriate questions, pharmacists can assist in determining whether a patient’s condition is appropriate for self-care. Pharmacists and Technicians can help a patient improve a condition by recommending the best non-prescription drugs and/or recommending non-pharmacologic measures to improve certain conditions.
