The Corner Drug Store

I'm sure many people remember the day when you could walk into your neighborhood drug store and ask the pharmacist anything. In fact, people would hang out, talk to the druggist (as we were called in those days) and get common sense advise and usually a cup of coffee. Then, the pharmacist knew you by name, and probably your whole family. Today, with the growth of retail pharmacy, and the number of medications available it's sometimes near impossible to speak to the pharmacist for any length of time. If you get your medications from the larger retail chains, the pharmacist is so busy, he or she may only have a few minutes to spare, and there may be someone new everytime you go in. The goal of this blog is to provide common sense advise on common health conditions, what OTC products work best and which ones to avoid and on dealing with pharmacies today. You can even have that cup of coffee while you read. If you have any specific questions, you can e-mail me.
