Taking medications can be a scary thing, especially when you might not know what they’re for, how to take them safely, and what side effects they can cause. As a pharmacist, I take great pride in providing this important information about medications in a way that people can understand. It’s fulfilling to share this information on GoodRx, where people can easily find the information they need to make decisions about their own health.
