• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  After covering 14 topics for exploration and discussion, I walked around my 1200-square-foot pharmacy. I looked at every product and saw that some just didn't have a place in the previous 14 sections but still needed to be covered. Weight loss products, adherence devices, syringes, diuretics, and even ichthammol needed to be discussed. Some of the products that are OTC because of cost are kept in the pharmacy, such as nicotine patches and diabetic test strips and needles. So, for the next 90 minutes, this module will wrap up this certification by touching on all of those unique products scattered throughout the pharmacy.
