Brown Bag Pharmacy Day Will be Held at The Pavilion at BRMC on Tuesday

The Pavilion at BRMC, located off the Pleasant Street access in Bradford, will have a free Brown Bag Pharmacy Day on Tuesday, June 29, from noon to 2 p.m., in its main entrance so community members can have their prescriptions reviewed by a pharmacist, said officials.

Community members just have to put their prescriptions in a bag and bring them to The Pavilion. Prescriptions will be reviewed by two pharmacists from Pharmacy Management Group.

The pharmacists will check brand-name and generic prescriptions, bio-equivalencies, costs, indications, expected outcomes, contraindications, discuss precautions, adverse effects, drug-to-drug and drug-to-food interactions, dosing regiment strategies, routes and methods of administration, and proper storage conditions.

Also during the review, free blood pressure screenings will be offered.

The Pavilion, adjacent to Bradford Regional Medical Center, is a 95-bed facility which provides long-term care to residents and also short-term restorative care to post-surgical patients. For more information, call 362-8293 or go online at www.brmc.com.

Bradford Regional Medical Center and Olean General Hospital are members of Upper Allegheny Health System.
