Translating pharmacy information into accessible, digestible, and empowering health content is a crucial yet often-underestimated aspect of public health. Medications surround our day-to-day lives, and this isn’t changing anytime soon. It’s important for everyone to have the chance to understand the benefits and risks of medications so we can all make informed decisions on how to use them safely.
