Something you need to know about Pharmacies in the United States

Something you need to know about pharmacies in the United States. There are over 60,000 pharmacies in the United States of America.

Each of these pharmacies exists primarily to cater to the medical needs of the country’s growing population which does not only consist of Americans but of other nationalities as well.

Tourists who travel to the United States short or long term and immigrants who have chosen to stay in the United States might not be familiar with how pharmacies in the said country function including drug restrictions, regulations and a lot more.

It is therefore important for us to get a closer look at how pharmacies in the United States run.

There are many types of pharmacies in the United States namely community pharmacies or drugstores, hospital pharmacies or pharmacies within a hospital, some clinical pharmacies and online pharmacies or pharmacies where you can purchase drugs and devices on the internet and so on.

What is distinctive about pharmacies in the United States is that unlike other countries where a doctor can dispense medicine, pharmacies are the only establishments which can cater to the pharmaceutical needs of the United States population.

However, the American Medical Association Code of Ethics permit doctors in the United States to dispense and sell drugs to their patients as long as a written prescription is issued which can be used in pharmacies other than that of the issuing physician and as long as the patient is not forced to obtain and buy the medicine from the doctor.

Pharmacies in the United States dispense both Over-the-Counter or OTC and prescription drugs. All OTC drugs are available in most pharmacies in the United States. OTC drugs are drugs which do not require a doctor or a physician’s prescription.

Aside from being available in pharmacies, they are also available for purchase off the shelf in most stores in the United States like Walgreens, CVS, RiteAid etc. Most of the natural ingredient products also can be bought without prescription.

In order for an OTC drug to remain available over-the-counter, it must comply with OTC drug monographs which are regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). If the OTC drug is compliant to the drug monograph, it will still be made available to the public as an OTC drug but if it no longer does, it undergoes review.

Prescription drugs are drugs that are prescribed by a doctor or a physician. These types of drugs can only be obtained and bought from pharmacies and for the sole use of the individual whose name is written on the prescription form.

If the FDA regulates OTC drugs through drug monographs, the FDA regulates prescription drugs through the New Drug Application (NDA) process. This ensures that the prescription drug is effective and safe for the public to use.

The rising cost of health care has prompted the United States population to avail of health insurance to help chip off a few bucks off the total bill in pharmacies, clinics and hospitals.

If you have health insurance, simply present your card to the pharmacist or if you are purchasing drugs online or thru telephone, provide necessary documents like a scanned copy of your health insurance card (both sides) and/or the ID number of your health insurance card, your group number, your date of birth and so on.

The requirements differ from one pharmacy to another so check with the pharmacy you most frequently buy your prescription drugs from. Aside from health insurance cards, you can also avail of pharmacy discount cards for prescription drugs that are not part of your insurance.

Not everyone is entitled to these pharmacy discount cards though and it is very important for you to review the terms and conditions of these cards.

What Should You Know About Pregnancy and Morning Sickness

May 19, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Pregnancy is a major life event for both the would-be mom and the would-be dad. For most couples, it is a time of joy and pure bliss – until mommy’s body changes start to kick in. Now you not only have to deal with accommodating the fetus growing inside of you but you also have to learn how to cope with fatigue, mood swings and most of all, morning sickness.

Pregnancy Morning Sickness

Pregnancy Morning Sickness

Contrary to its name, morning sickness does not only occur in the morning. Some pregnant women experience morning sickness during the morning but it can persist throughout the day. In short, morning sickness can strike at anytime of the day, depending on various factors.

Morning sickness is characterized by symptoms of nausea and vomiting. It usually starts during the fourth or sixth week of pregnancy and may last for a month or two. The duration varies from individual to individual and may also be influenced by factors like being sensitive to certain smells and odors and the fact that a pregnant woman’s stomach is still adjusting to body changes brought about by early pregnancy.

There are several ways to combat nausea and vomiting. Apart from the anti-emetic medicine that your doctor might prescribe to you, you can take precautions and make use of natural remedies to help relieve nausea and vomiting.

Since most pregnant women seem to have developed a more enhanced sense of smell, it is advisable for you to avoid smells and odors that make you feel queasy and nauseous. Avoid food that has strong smell which might trigger your gag reflex.

It is also helpful to note that trigger smells and odors are not only limited to those generated from food and drinks but also includes perfumes, room odors, paints and so on. Another thing is to ensure that your stomach is never empty.

Since you are already eating for two, you might think that it is important to always eat more than the usual and eat more frequently than you did back then. However, according to studies, it is more advisable for you to eat small but frequent meals throughout the day.

That way, you don’t end up barfing excess food or vomiting because of an empty stomach. The same logic applies to drinks. Avoid drinking too much fluid all at one time. It is advisable for you to drink considerable amounts of fluid throughout meal and snack times and even in between.

Try downing ginger ales made with real ginger as ginger is known to relieve queasiness and stomach upset.

Ginger Tea

If you can’t find authentic ginger ales, try making your own ginger tea by placing freshly grated ginger into hot water. You can also look for ginger candies usually available in stores and supermarkets.

Acupressure bands have also achieved popularity among pregnant women who experience morning sickness. Although originally used to ward of seasickness, some pregnant women have been relieved of nausea through this inexpensive device usually sold in drugstores and pharmacies.

Getting relief from morning sickness does not only rid pregnant women of stress but also ensures that the growing fetus is receiving ample nutrients from the mom’s diet. If a pregnant woman feels nauseated and vomits for prolonged periods of time, there is a high chance that the fetus is no longer receiving proper nutrition.

Because of this, mothers who suffer from morning sickness even after their first trimester are often admitted to hospitals to receive fluids and medication. This will help protect the baby from being born preterm or with low birth weight.
