But if the market does expand as anticipated, pharmacists are going to need more detailed information about nutritional deficiencies before they can recommend these products, says Jay Patel, a pharmacist at the Royal Rx Shoppe in Leamington, ON."Pharmacists need a good understanding of how each medication depletes nutrients and the potential problems caused by those lost nutrients."
Educational material and pharmacist training on ProFenda, including videos, a toll-free help line (800-265-5053) and a web site (www.profenda.com) are available through Jamieson.
Meanwhile, makers of Rx Balance have launched an aggressive national marketing campaign to educate consumers and healthcare professionals, including a web site (www.rxbalance. net), pharmacy training, an educational booklet and a prescription support hotline (877-265-2615).
