• 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 needed to be covered. Weight loss products, adherence devices, syringes, diuretics, and even ichthammol needed to be covered. Some of the products that are OCT because of cost are kept in the pharmacy, such as nicotine patches and diabetic test strips and needles. So, for the next 90 minutes we will wrap up this course by catching all of those unique products scattered throughout our pharmacies.
