Natural pharmacy expert advises: get educated
Article Abstract:
Assn of Natural Medicine Pharmacists (ANMP) founder and Pres Connie Grauds emphasizes the need for pharmacists to get educated to be able to answer customer questions about natural medicines. He says that patients taking natural products are often reluctant to discuss this practice with pharmacists because of a perceived lack of expertise. He advises pharmacists to acquire or improve their knowledge about natural medicines by enrolling in the Phytomedicinals and Alternative Medicine certification program that is jointly offered by ANMP and the Texas Pharmacy Assn.

Will patients hoard meds during Y2K?
Article Abstract:
A consensus reached during a panel discussion is that the pharmacy industry is well equipped to deal with the year 2000 (Y2K) computer problem. However, some pharmacy leaders speculate that patients may stock up on their prescription medications in fear that the Y2K problem will cut their supply. The Y2K panel discussion, which was held at the Food Marketing Institute in Baltimore, MD, in Apr 18-10, 1999, was composed of pharmacy and pharmaceutical officials.
