DERBY - The Diabetes Education & Support Group at Griffin Hospital will host a free Q&A with pharmacists at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the hospital.
Griffin Health Director of Pharmacy Services Lisa Jaser, Pharm D, will lead a casual Q & A session on any and all medication questions.
Medication errors injure hundreds of thousands of people every year in the United States. However, most medication errors can be prevented by open communication between the pharmacist and patient, as well as the patient’s caregivers.
Participants are encouraged to bring their medications, and ask questions about what it is supposed to do, how to take or use the medication, what to do if a dose is missed, and what activities, foods and other medications should be avoided while taking the medication.
