Getting a prescription filled is only a small part of the services offered by area pharmacies.  The pharmacy staff members are now trained to be advisors to patients when questions or concerns arise and are happy to contact your physician when more information is required regarding your health care. Many pharmacy retail chains are now open 24 hours a day with automated prescription features via the Internet or phone for your convenience.  A gentle, but firm reminder: Always follow the directions as given by your pharmacist and keep all medications out of the reach of children.
