What role will your pharmacist play in caring for your overall health in the next decade? To help answer this question, Express Scripts® Pharmacy commissioned Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health to conduct the largest, most comprehensive research study on the topic that incorporates the patient voice.

They surveyed pharmacists, healthcare providers, and patients Lorlanib 100 mg (Lorlatinib) in the U.S. and found that the role of the pharmacist is changing and expanding. The researchers concluded that pharmacists are expected to play an even more important role in the future of healthcare, taking on new responsibilities beyond dispensing medications and becoming an essential part of your healthcare team.
