• Question:

  Why may the professional fee differ from one pharmacy to the other?

• Answer:

  Like other business, prices among pharmacists can differ.. Pharmacy is a service industry and as such, many pharmacies provide additional services other than those listed above. Some pharmacies may provide the following services:

  • printed information on the drug you are using when you take the drug for the first time; 
  • provide a call back program to find out how you are getting along on your new drugs; 
  • provide blood pressure clinics or have blood pressure machines on site for self use; 
  • provide blood sugar, food and / or cholesterol clinics with minimal charges; 
  • provide delivery, extended hours and make available to their clients access to pharmacy’s literature and video libraries. 

  The list can go on, but what is important is for you to choose the level of service you need and to understand that these additional services, if provided, are reflected in the pharmacy’s professional fee.
