US pharmacy giant Walgreens
has announced an expansion of a
pharmacist-led hepatitis C program
which will now be available in
more than 100 pharmacies across
America.
The outlets feature pharmacists
“specially trained on next

aim to help patients achieve an
improved quality of life through
medication adherence.

associated health concerns, the
pharmacies can provide care for
other conditions often suffered by
these patients including diabetes or
high blood pressure.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 18 Feb 14 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 18 Feb 14
