Choose the right Pharmacy

When it comes to one’s personal health, most people want to make the best choice. People ask questions, research the Internet, and ask for advice from friends

and loved ones. But there is one important area of healthcare where people usually do not take the time to do proper research

and compare services. Even though there is a vast array of different resources that provide information about the services available from different pharmacies, few people take adequate time to learn about the best options to fill their prescriptions.

Here are just some of the questions you should consider when choosing SAFEWAY Pharmacy:

► What if you have a question about how to take your medicines? Will your pharmacist be able to provide you with accurate information about the medications you will be taking?

At Safeway Pharmacy, we take the time to counsel you, the patient, BEYOND the state requirements. The reason

why is that WE CARE about your health. Our staff have years of experience and understanding about the medications. We keep up on all the latest journals and publications.

Most people choose a pharmacy based on location. That’s great, because we’re close by! But we offer a lot more than the other pharmacies.

► Timing for some medications is important – will you be able to get your meds on a timely basis?

Our competitors rely on volume… they fill hundreds of prescriptions a day. Due to their high volume, it can take anywhere from 1 to 24 hours to fill a prescription. At Safeway, 90% of the time we can fill your prescription in 10-15 minutes. When you’re ill, you want to get home as soon as possible and get better, right?

PLUS, we have convenient one-stop shopping for the things you want and need to help you get better… why make two stops when you can make one, especially when you are not filling well?

► Can your pharmacy transfer your medicine quickly – even if you are not in the same city or state?

Safeway Pharmacy is part of a linked network of over 1,700 stores all across the nation. We can transfer your prescription electronically in a matter of minutes. Away from home and forgot your medication? Just visit the local Safeway, Vons, or Tom Thumb and get your medication fast! When you get back home, just let us know, and we’ll

transfer your medication back to your Safeway.

► Your medication may not be covered by insurance. Will your pharmacist help you understand your coverage? Does the pharmacy offer free insurance screening in advance?

At Safeway, we are familiar with most of the insurance plans available and can submit your prescription to them to find out your co-pay ahead of time.

► Does the pharmacy stock the medication you

need? If not, how long will it take to get

the medication?

At Safeway, we stock 90% of every medication that you want, especially the important antibiotics and pain medications. Anything else we can have filled for you within 24 hours.*

Choosing the right pharmacy is important for you and your family’s health. If you have other questions, please call and we will be happy to help you answer them. We want to provide you with the best in healthcare-related pharmacy.
