A new study was released last month illustrating that pharmacists answer plenty of questions about prescription medications, but not as many about over the counter products. Think about it: you have access to a knowledgeable medical professional, and all it costs you is time at the pharmacy to get your questions answered.
According to the study, only about 1 in 5 people will ask a pharmacist about non-prescription medications. 1 in 2 will ask about prescriptions. Think of the resource that’s being wasted here! The survey looks at pharmacists’ recommendations for energy, heart health, a strong immune system, and what to look for when you want quality vitamins.
