A conversation with a pharmacist can happen at the pharmacy counter or in a private consultation area. For a medication review, the pharmacist will go through all your prescriptions and over-the-counter products to check for interactions, duplications, and appropriate dosing. Vaccine appointments take 15 to 20 minutes including a brief health screening and observation period after the shot. Some pharmacists provide chronic disease management services (diabetes education, blood pressure monitoring) under collaborative practice agreements with your doctor.
Talk to your pharmacist when starting a new medication (ask about side effects, food interactions, and timing), when you take multiple medications and want a medication review, when you need a vaccine (flu, COVID, shingles, pneumonia), when you have questions about over-the-counter products, when you need emergency contraception, when you are having trouble affording your medications (pharmacists know about discount programs and generic alternatives), or when you have a minor health concern that a pharmacist can help triage (cough, allergies, minor infections in some states).
Pharmacist consultation: free · Vaccination: $0 copay (most insured) · Medication review (MTM): covered by Medicare Part D · Generic medication: $4-20/month · Compounded medication: $20-200+/month
