The pharmacy underwent an extensive expansion and remodeling in the Spring of 1997. Patient education pamphlets and videos are available on many topics and products. Patients are counseled on the correct selection of needles and syringes for particular medications, as well as injection techniques. Storage requirements, reconstitution, and side effect profiles of the injectables are also thoroughly reviewed. Drug interactions, among the medications filled at the pharmacy, are screened by the NeighorCare CareFile Management Information System.
Pharmacists are always available for patient consultation.
Pharmacy Director, Christopher Kruft, R Ph, has been involved in assisted reproductive technologies since 1988. One of the few pharmacist members of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, Kruft maintains that ART medications are some of the most scientifically advanced agents in medicine today. As technologies are continually developing, new agents are being introduced at an increasingly rapid rate. Protocols are constantly evolving to utilize the newest agents. NeighborCare at GBMC is committed to making available to physicians and patients the newest, cutting-edge pharmacologic agents, as well as the older, proven medications.
