Summer Health Tips

George's Pharmacy Health Tips Newsletter

Does Your Medication Look Different?

Generic medications may very in size, color and shape. Even though medications have the same active ingredients, a generic drug made by a different manufacturer will often look different. Pharmacies are frequently required to change suppliers or wholesalers due to price changes, and their stock of generic drugs may continually rotate. Do not let this alarm you.
Ensure you have the right medication. Ask your pharmacist when you pick up your medicine or look on the label.There are two ways to tell if your medication is labeled properly: look on the bottom of the label in small print for a description of your medication's identifying marks or, if your prescription was filled robotically, look on the yellow portion of the label.

No Prescription Needed!

Hey, allergy sufferers! Full prescription-strength Flonase and Nasacort Allergy 24HR are both now available without a prescription. Nasacort Allergy 24HR has been approved for treatment of seasonal and year-round nasal allergies inadults and children 2 years of age and older. Once-daily FLONASE® offers 24-hour relief of both nose- and eye-related allergy symptoms.

Regulations Limit Prescriptions

The DEA allows each pharmacy a limited amount of controlled substances for each fulfillment order. The size of each pharmacy's supply is based on the previous total prescriptions supplied by the pharmacy. This means that at our pharmacy we are allowed to fill a limited number of pain medications each month. We are happy to be able to provide our patients who fill all of their prescriptions at our pharmacy. However, due to the limitations imposed by the DEA, we are unable to service those who only fill some of their prescriptions with us, and apologize for any inconvenience. Please speak to the pharmacy if you would like to transfer all of your prescriptions. We are happy to help!
