Q. My child is on an antibiotic
but refuses to take it because it tastes terrible.
Can you help me?
A. Yes, we can flavor children's medicine...grape,
bubble gum, even coconut, over 48 flavors.
Many times, we can flavor over the counter remedies
that taste yucky!
Q. My veterinarian prescribed potassium
bromide for my dog and I can only get it from a
mail away pharmacy and I need it soon. How
can I get it fast?
A. We regularly stock many items just
for pets. Many veterinarians are referring
people to have their prescriptions filled by us,
because we have the medicines that they need and
we can fill them right away. We can also flavor
your pets medicine, ever hear of tuna-flavored zithromax
or angus beef flavored dilantin? Or how about
topical creams and lotions that you pay so much
for?! We can make these and many times, we
can save you money!
Q. I am a senior citizen on
a limited income and I need to fill my prescription
for Tenormin, but my copay is $25.00. Is there
anything I can do?
A. Yes, we will discuss any generic
equivalents available for your prescriptions, if
your doctor does not specify for the brand name
item. The generic equivalent for Tenormin
is atenolol and not very costly. Our
cash prescription price is low, as a matter of fact,
a 90 day supply is less than $10.00. We can
save you more than $15.00. We also invite
you to call for quotes on cash prescriptions prices,
we may be able to save you $$$$.
Q. My children's vitamins have a copay
of $10.00 or 30 tablets and I come back every month
for a new supply...with a new copay, is there anyway
I can get a larger supply?
A. Yes, at Echo Pharmacy, we will look
at your prescriptions and if we can you offer you
better prices, we will let you know immediately.
In this case, we can offer you a bottle of 100 tables
of Children's Multivitamins for $9.35, even less
money than your copay would be.
Q. My doctor prescribed Natural Hormone
Replacement Therapy? Do you have this?
A. Yes, it is one of our special services,
along with flavoring and compounding. We can
make prescription natural hormones; special suppositories
if you are sick and can't take medicine orally;
capsule items, creams, lotions, cough syrups, mouthwash,
etc. Just call or contact us for more information.
Q. I need a cough medicine. Can
you tell me which one is the best?
A. There are many different types of coughs
and different medicines to treat each type.
There are cough suppressants or cough expectorant,
liquids, tablets, etc. At Echo Pharmacy, we
are going to take the time to listen to you, ask
you questions and offer advice to help meet your
needs. You'll even find that we'll walk the
aisles with you to help choose the product that
may work well for you.
Q. My doctor wants me to take cholesterol
medicine, but I am reluctant after hearing about
so many side effects. Is there anything else
I can take?
A. We can't prescribe because we are not
doctors, nor do we have your health history, but
we have many people that are using natural vitamin
therapy depending upon their cholesterol values.
Some of the medical professionals locally have been
using Fish Oil (eicosapentonoic acid, or Omega 3
fatty acids, alone or with a combination of Omega
6's and/or Omega 9's), CoEnzyme Q10, Niacin,
etc. with some success. Come in, we have a
Registered Dietitian on staff and our Pharmacists
are all very knowledgeable. Please ask us
about this, we will be happy to share our information.
