    • Overview

      Complaints of pain are one of the most frequent reasons patients seek pharmacist expertise for self-care. Pharmacists have some excellent tools to help manage these complaints, including NSAIDS, acetaminophen, and topical therapy. But, like any drug, product side effects can cause deleterious effects if given to the wrong patient or at the wrong dose. Although these drugs have been available for a number of years, more and more data reveals their side effects in the aging population. Even though these medications are available without a prescription, a pharmacist’s expertise will indeed help patients achieve maximum relief while minimizing the potential for harm.
