If there's one drugstore chain that is changing the image of community drugstores in the country, it is Med Express. This new retail drugstore chain "offers not only delivery and drive-thru pick-up but most importantly professional pharmacy services."*
"Medication safety issues [are] addressed by ensuring that only pharmacists will man all branches and call centers; strictly implementing a "No Rx, No Dispensing" policy; compliance packaging (patient's medication for a week is prepared in unit dose packaging); medication counselling; medication review; confidential medication profile system (a computer system that enables pharmacists to keep track of the patient's drug utilization and provide relevant pharmacist notes); and a patient compliance program (computer system that keeps track of the patient's supply of maintenance medications and enables pharmacists to monitor patient's adherence to medication regimen).
There are Med Express Drugstores in Ortigas Avenue, Mindanao Avenue and Filinvest Alabang.** Patronize this drugstore chain.
SAY NO TO DRUGSTORES WHO SELL PRESCRIPTION DRUGS LIKE CANDIES IN SARI-SARI STORES!
