CANANDAIGUA – Community members are invited to gather their prescription and over-the-counter medications to meet with a pharmacist during a free “brown bag” event on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at the Canandaigua Medical Group Pharmacy.
The event will run from 5 to 7 p.m. at the pharmacy, which is affiliated with F.F. Thompson Hospital and located across the street from the hospital, at 335 Parrish St. in Canandaigua.
Attendees can meet with the pharmacists to:
- Review their medications’ common side effects and uses
- Check for interactions with other medications, herbals, vitamins and supplements
- Ensure they are taking their medications correctly
- Get a cost comparison, to see if the pharmacy can save them money
In addition, community members attending the event can drop off their unused/expired medications in the pharmacy’s secured drop box.
Refreshments will be served and attendees will receive a free pill reminder box.
