Frequently Asked Questions

You Asked, We Answered

1.) Do prescription drug prices change from pharmacy to pharmacy? And what can I do as a patient to help control how much I spend on medications?

Prescription drug prices definitely can vary, "I encourage everybody to compare prices and check around" Here at Mario's Pharmacy we have very competitive prices! So never hesitate to call and ask. "I mean who wants to spend hundreds of dollars when really you could be saving!" 

2.) Do generic drugs work as well as brand-name drugs? 

"In pharmacy these days, we really encourage generic drug use" In fact, generic drugs are required to have a very similar concentration of the same ingredients as brand-name drugs. 

3.) Why don't I need antibiotics when I have a cold?

Viruses cause colds and antibiotics are generally not effective against viruses. The best medicine for colds is still rest, plenty of fluids, and, if you need symptom relief, over-the-counter cold products. If you do not feel better within 10 days, please notify your physician's office.
