Am I working at the last pharmacy in the country that does this? I don't mind getting used to it because I know it's the preference of the elderly pharmacy owner, and it's a great place to work. I just started there and there is enough to learn without having to look up the brand name for trihexyph

My older sister and Father have Marfans too; I was diagnosed very early and have been monitored yearly and taking Nadolol for my whole life.

Hey - I’ve seen a bunch of posts asking about experiences with the Covid vaccine so I just wanted to share mine for what it’s worth.
