    • Overview

      Modesty is thrown out the window consulting with a patient in the lower gastrointestinal section of the store. For some reason, patients that would never describe any bodily functions are more than ready to discuss hemorrhoids, stool frequency, and stool consistency in this aisle. There are many patients with numerous questions related to constipation and diarrhea, and pharmacists need to know not only the mechanisms of action, but also the time and duration of onset of action for treatment options. Lots of
      products, and the cross-branding of products also makes this section challenging. This module will also discuss pinworm infestation, with the prescription products priced at almost four hundred dollars, pharmacists are frequently consulted for a more cost-effective therapy.
