TY - JOUR T1 - Advent of mail-order pharmacy causes concern among some pharmacists JF - Canadian Medical Association Journal JO - CMAJ SP - 1485 LP - 1486 VL - 152 IS - 9 AU - D. Spurgeon Y1 - 1995/05/01 UR - http://www.cmaj.ca/content/152/9/1485.abstract N2 - MEDITrust, a major mail-order pharmacy, promises low drug prices and dispensing fees for people who order drugs via mail. Its arrival has created some strong opposition in Quebec. The Canadian Pharmaceutical Association says the arrival of mail-order companies may give community pharmacists an opportunity to promote the benefits of face-to-face contact with pharmacists. The CMA's Dr. Anne Carter says there will always be a need for community pharmacists, who can provide drugs on short notice and provide personal counselling for patients. ER -
