She shares stories about how pharmacists help people, day in, day out.

As doctors, having good working relationships with pharmacists is key to being able to look after our patients well. Their advice and expertise is invaluable. We probably don’t appreciate them as much as we should.

How can doctors and pharmacists best work together?

What does a compounding pharmacy actually do?

We discuss why fillers such as lactose are put in our medications. If you don’t tolerate a drug could it be the lactose in that medication or supplement?
