Understanding Your Prescription
Being educated about the medications you're prescribed is the first step towards healthcare empowerment. At National Pharmacies Ascot, pharmacists take the time to explain:
- What each medication is for: Understanding the purpose of your medicine and how it works in your body can help you appreciate the importance of adherence to your medication regimen.

Manufacturers and organizations occasionally offer programs to help cover the cost of medications for those who qualify. Our pharmacy staff can help you understand and access these opportunities.
