Are Expired Medications Still Good? As a consultant pharmacist, I get asked this question almost daily. Whether it’s from a patient at home, someone at a nursing facility or an ambulatory surgery center, we all encounter expired medications. Can you still use them? Should you replace them? How should you handle expired medications?
Happy Thanksgiving to all our team members, clients, vendors, and their families.

We hope you have a wonderful day celebrating all there is to be thankful for.

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served our country!
On this special day, let us pause and salute all the men and women who through tremendous sacrifice have served our great nation.
At OctariusRx, we give thanks every day, but especially today because we realize freedom isn’t free!
We owe our veterans and their families so much gratitude for all they have done and sacrificed for our country. We are the home of the free because of the brave.
With respect, honor, and gratitude, today and every day, Thank You Veterans!
November is National Diabetes Month and the OctariusRx team recognizes and supports efforts to educate and prevent diabetes and its associated complications. This is an epidemic and many of us are at risk without even knowing it. Others are living with diabetes and are completely unaware. It’s time to get educated about our own risks and how to help others.
Happy Halloween Weekend from the OctariusRx team! Halloween can be a scary time of year. This year we celebrate this holiday weekend with our list of “Top Five Scariest Things” and our suggestions for dealing with them. Can you guess what’s on the list?
As we celebrate National Pharmacy Week, I would like to take the time to thank our Consultant Pharmacists as well as supporting team members.
Happy Columbus Day from our team at OctariusRx. Whether you’re celebrating the sailor or the indigenous people who already lived in the “new world”, we think it’s a great opportunity to honor the spirit of exploration.
“In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.”
― Ansel Adams
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the OctariusRx team is recognizing the annual campaign to increase awareness of this disease.
It’s Fall Prevention Awareness Week and the OctariusRx team is recognizing and helping to spread the word from the National Council on Aging (NCOA). Falls are not a natural part of aging and whether they happen at home or in health care facilities such as nursing homes or ambulatory surgery centers, the outcomes can be devastating.
