TRIPS TO THE PHARMACY HAVE YOU EXHAUSTED?

You can synchronize your child’s prescriptions to a single monthly pick-up…

If your child is on more than one medication for an extended period of time, trips to the pharmacy for refills can become time consuming. You still have a good supply of one medication, but the other is finished, then a few weeks later you run out of the other and have to make the trip all over again. This can be frustrating and time consuming. NewSpring Pharmacy now has a service to make this process more convenient for you. We can synchronize all your child’s meds so they all come due for refill at the same time. This means you only need to pick them up once a month.

When you join the pharmacy’s synchronization program, the pharmacy will keep up to date on changes and refills, as well as work with your doctor to assess and evaluate concerns like interactions and dosing issues when you come in to pick the meds.

Recently a patient consulted us when she failed to get relief from a medication formulated at another pharmacy. The medical team went through an assessment process and discovered that the medication had been formulated with the wrong concentration. When this was remedied the patient was able to get relief.

Patient Story: Compounding for Crohn’s and IBS

Ms. A.B.

Ms. A.B. has Crohn’s and IBS. When we first met her she was having trouble getting medication for the various conditions she was dealing with. She came into the pharmacy by accident, thinking we were a LabCorp location. As we gave her directions, she noticed that we were a compounding pharmacy and asked whether we could customize meds. We said “yes,” so she pulled out a list of meds, left it on the counter, and rushed to her lab appointment. When she came back we informed her that we could customize all her medications. We further offered her a choice of fillers and told her that the probiotic Acidophilus was the most popular. She was very happy. We now compound all her medications, including over-the-counter medications like Tylenol and her anti-biotics, when she needs them. We have a happy customer!
