Episode - 13 - Talking All Things Pharmacy with a Pharm D


What's with the expiration date on our drugs?  What is Noloxone?  Why are prescriptions so expensive in the U.S.?

Pharmacists are an essential piece of the healthcare puzzle, and frankly, we wouldn't really have much of a healthcare system without them.  Join us for Episode 13 of The Healthy Matters Podcast where we explore all things pharmacy with Dr. Laurie Willhite, a Pharmacy Doctor at Hennepin Healthcare.

How much does a pill weigh?  Well, not very much.   But Hennepin Healthcare pharmacies alone disposed of expired meds in the community equal to the weight of the entire starting lineup of the Minnesota Vikings - just last year!  Learn about the best practices for staying on top of your medications, when and how to dispose of them, as well as a role you can play to help with the opioid epidemic, on Episode 13 of The Healthy Matters Podcast!
