Pharmacists are health care professionals who are experts in prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. During their extensive education, they are trained on diseases, symptoms, treatment, and signs that require an appointment with a doctor. Pharmacists also have excellent knowledge of natural health products. Your pharmacist puts all of this knowledge at your service.

In addition, your pharmacist is a valuable resource to help you adopt a healthy lifestyle and prevent illness. Eating a balanced diet, getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, and managing your stress are the keys to health. These habits are a major part of the treatment for a number of diseases. Without a healthy lifestyle, the effectiveness of many drugs will be limited.

Your pharmacist understands that it isn’t always easy to change your ways, which is why he or she is there to help you get healthier.
