🚨 Medication safety is important all times of year but Halloween can pose some unexpected poison risks. Various medications, supplements, and THC products can be mistaken for candy or snacks. To keep your little ghouls 👻 and goblins 👹 safe, please keep these products out of sight and away from the reach of children and pets. Check out some of the tips provided!

It’s VaxFacts Friday! This week = flu shot Friday.

Have you gotten your flu shot yet? It’s time! The seasonal influenza vaccine is recommended for most people 6 months and older.

Each year the new vaccine is formulated to protect against the most likely strains of influenza for that season. Because the flu virus is smart and can change rapidly, new vaccines are produced each year to provide the best coverage. While the flu vaccine is not 100% effective, receiving the vaccine is still beneficial, and vaccinated individuals who get the flu may have milder cases.

Already vaccinated? Share our graphic to let everyone you know you got your flu shot, and let them know they should get one too!

As always, if you have questions about flu shots for yourself or your family members, talk to your pharmacist or primary care provider today!

Today we will highlight inpatient pharmacy operations!

Inpatient pharmacy operations play a crucial role in entrusting patients receive safe, effective, and timely medication therapy during their inpatient stay. Much of operations is triaging, problem solving, and collaborating to provide the best care for our pediatric patients!

Today we will highlight ambulatory pharmacy!

📈Ambulatory pharmacy focuses on providing medication management and patient care in an outpatient setting. Pharmacists are managing a patient’s chronic conditions, optimizing medication therapy when appropriate, and counseling patients on their therapy plans. They collaborate with other healthcare providers to work towards improving health outcomes and supporting patients through their healthcare journey!

For our first day of Pharmacy Week, we will highlight Community Pharmacy!

💉Community pharmacies are often one of our first points of access for a patient’s healthcare needs. For pediatric patients, our community pharmacists are available to provide counseling on prescription and OTC medications, provide counseling on how to draw and administer oral solutions/suspensions, and ensuring dispensed medications are safe for their indication, age, and weight.

👅 For our first activity, comment on which antibiotic YOU think tastes the best!
