    Negril Pharmacy is in the same plaza as the Value Master Supermarket (above the store). Ask for Bruce and let him know the symptoms or problem...

    Oh dear...Bruce is not a physician and cannot diagnose with giving him symptoms! Full assessment of allergies, other medicines or over the counter and individual conditions must be looked at! Proper channel is to see the Doctor. This advise can put someone in trouble quickly.....part of my services is guiding you this process. I can many time come and consult a physician LIVE to call in a script, for his small fee OR refer you where to go if you choose to travel out. Asking a pharmacist for a perscription ONLY, over the counter is a chance I wouldn't take! Nurse Beth

    Beth,

    If you read the thread in full, I was adding additional information to the previous post. I then posted my number in case the OP wanted to call back in February.

    The OP got their issue resolved without further help. No call necessary.

    I know Bruce is not a doctor since he is the pharmacist at Negril Pharmacy. He is not always there which is why I suggested asking for him directly if you go to the Negril Pharmacy.

    Going to a doctor should always be a first choice option. Your service is a great option as well and I know that you have been busy and wished you would have been able to respond to the OP back in February.

    Having been to my share of doctors and pharmacies over the last 57 years, I know that doctors know what to prescribe. And I know that pharmacists know more about drugs and interactions and have a direct working knowledge of the drug success rate.

    Even with a prescription, I always talk directly to the pharmacist about problems and symptoms as well as possible drug interactions.

    Oh, what also helped (and I didn't mention earlier) is that my daughter is a NYS Board Certified Registered Nurse (with 7 years experience) currently working in Labor and Delivery at one of our local hospitals. So she was educated in what meds she needed. But thank you, again, for your concern.

    Great. I am happy it worked out this time. Then she knows going to pharmacist without script from Dr here and getting something over the counter is illegal. Hate to see something happen down here, when trusting someone who is working outside of his scope of practice. Suggesting people to do this is unethical and unsafe...could be liable if interaction or mistake was made! Take Care!
