Cancer therapy, aid at pharmacies
Your neighborhood pharmacist is part of the medical team treating your diagnosis for cancer.
The pharmacist’s role is to monitor the impact of medications you are taking for cancer. This includes not just its success but any side effects and your medication’s interaction with other drugs.
For example, a medication may seem ineffective, but the pharmacist can recommend the doctor consider a different dosage, at which point the medication succeeds.
A pharmacy also includes medical and surgical supplies and over-the-counter medications that can help you recover.
A growing field
Cancer research efforts and new medications have multiplied in recent years as research develops new and emerging fields of oncology treatment.
It’s a very complicated field, too. Cancer covers more than 100 illnesses, ranging from prostate and lung to bladder, breast and pancreas.
Your neighborhood pharmacist can answer your questions about cancer and supply resources for valuable assistance for the patient and his or her family.
The pharmacist can explain options for dealing with side effects and ensure that you are administering medications correctly, all with a professional but compassionate approach.
Drugs & More Pharmacy offers medical supplies, greeting cards, toys and other products, along with expert pharmaceutical knowledge.
