13 Things Your Pharmacist Won't Tell You What to bear in mind the next time you visit the local pharmacy counter.

Local pharmacy is creating many problem now a days. so people are going for online pharmacy. But both system has some pros and cons. If you are local pharmacy buyer then please know 13 things before you decide to buy.

1. Don't try to get anything past us. Prescriptions for painkillers or sleeping aids always get extra scrutiny.

2. We're not serving fries in here. I'd think twice about using a drive-through pharmacy. Working there distracts us-not a good thing when it comes to pharmaceuticals.

3. We're human … and we make mistakes (about two million a year). Ask if we use a bar-code system to help keep us from pulling the wrong drug off the shelf or giving the wrong strength of the right drug.

4. Sometimes we can't read the doctor's handwriting either. E-prescribing can help, but as of 2006, fewer than 20 percent of prescriptions were being electronically transmitted.

5. I hate your insurance company as much as you do. "Even if something's working for you, the insurance company may insist you switch to something else," says pharmacy owner Stuart Feldman."I'm stuck in the middle trying to explain this to customers."

6. We can give flu shots in most states.

7. A less-qualified pharmacy technician may have actually filled your prescription. Currently, there is no national standard for their training and responsibilities.

8. Generics are a close match for most brand names. But I'd be careful with blood thinners and thyroid drugs, since small differences can have big effects.

9. I can give you a generic refill that's different from the one you started with. When in doubt, ask. Online resources like cvs.com let you double-check your pill.

10. We're not mind readers, and there's not some big computer database that tracks your drugs and flags interactions for pharmacists everywhere. Use one pharmacy. If you start using a new one, make sure we know what you're taking.

11. Avoid the lines. It gets busy Monday and Tuesday evenings, since many new prescriptions and refills come in after the weekend.

12. Look into the $4 generics offered by chains like Target, Kroger, and Wal-Mart. And it can't hurt to ask your pharmacy if it will match the price.

13. Yelling at me won't help. If I can't reach your doctor and/or insurance company to approve a refill, there's nothing I can do about it. “It's frustrating,” says pharmacist Daniel Zlott, “but I'd be breaking the law in some states if I gave it to you.”

But if you are online pharmacy customer please follow these message explained below :

Hassles involving telephone calls and pieces of paper point to a weakness of online pharmacies: By and large, they're not set up to receive prescriptions from doctors electronically. As Allen Wenner puts it, "They haven't given me tools to use their services."

But they're making a start. Drugconnectionrx.com, for example, have teamed up with Hillsboro, OR-based MedicaLogic, which provides doctors with software for electronic medical records, including a Web-based version. The arrangement will allow doctors using MedicaLogic software to transmit prescriptions to the two Web drugstores via the Internet.

Similarly, online pharmacies are cultivating relationships with makers of wireless, handheld prescribing devices. Allscripts and ePhysician machines, for instance, can zap prescriptions straight to DrugConnectionRx.Com machines can digitally talk to Rx.com.

Today I was visiting yahoo answer and was surprised to see our Drugconnectionrx online pharmacy name on yahoo answer.

In reply of one question asked related to weight loss, Clark Gilbert wrote about to use Drugconnectionrx.com.

Clark Gilbert is our costumer from 5 months. He says :

In my opinion you should go for xanax or valium Medicine. I have used xanax or valium and satisfied with it's result. This can be available at your near by pharmacy. But problem is that local pharmacy will cost you higher for this medication. Personally I bought it from online pharmacy. But be aware of many online pharmacy scam. So first of all decided to ask from nearby Doctors and friends, they told me to us drugconnectionrx online pharmacy. Drugconnectionrx.com is cheap and best for weight loss. i got my medication from Florida. Don't buy medicine from overseas. they all are scammed. I think I spoke to one Jazz and Jasmine, beautiful names and beautiful service they give, very patient and accommodating, I order with them all the time.
