As we step into the month of August, we are grateful for the gift of life and the opportunity to serve our community with compassionate, quality, and patient-centered healthcare.

💊 NOT EVERY MEDICINE IS RIGHT FOR EVERY PERSON—ALWAYS SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE!

🏥 SERVICE SATURDAY WITH MARY ELMS

Medicines are powerful tools for treating disease, but they must be used correctly. Taking the wrong medication, using the wrong dose, or stopping treatment too early can lead to treatment failure, harmful side effects, or antibiotic resistance.

Our pharmacy team works closely with doctors and nurses to ensure every patient receives the right medicine, in the right dose, at the right time.

✔ Safe Medication Tips:
• Never share prescription medicines.
• Complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed.
• Check expiry dates before use.
• Store medicines properly.
• Ask questions if you are unsure how to take your medication.

🥗 Diet Therapy: Some medicines work best with food, while others should be taken on an empty stomach. Always follow your healthcare provider's instructions.

🏥 Visit Mary Elms Mission Hospital, Onitsha for safe, reliable pharmacy services and professional medication counseling.

Your safety is our priority.
