Armstrong Pharmacy acknowledges the potential benefits of diagnostic products. Used properly, these products permit earlier detection of health problems and closer monitoring of existing conditions while also encouraging increased patient involvement in personal health. Used improperly, diagnostic products are of limited value and may even be detrimental to the patient’s health. Therefore, Armstrong Pharmacy stresses the role of the pharmacist in distributing diagnostic products and assisting the patient to understand the proper use of such products.
We also recognize the diagnostic role of the physician, and the role of other health-care personnel in conducting laboratory and diagnostic tests. The role of the pharmacist should complement and not interfere with the roles of other health-care personnel.
Contact one of our pharmacists for further information on lab tests and screening diagnostics.
