PRESCRIPTION DRUGS
To be able to fill physician's prescriptions promptly,
for there must be no delay, requires a large stock
of prescription drugs. A number of these drugs
are not used often and lose their strength which
necessitates their being thrown away. This part of
our service is watched carefully for we understand
your dependence on our prescription department
in emergencies.
