Torrance - Pharmacy

Providence Little Company of Mary offers around-the-clock clinical pharmacy services for our inpatient population, as well as prescription-filling services as a convenience for our patients being discharged. A pharmacist is on duty 24 hours a day to screen and review inpatient medications and counsel inpatients and those being discharged on topics regarding their drug therapies, including:

•	Drug interactions with other prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as food and drink
•	Adverse and allergic drug reactions
•	Cost management
•	Compliance issues

Patient Medication Information sheets are also distributed with each new prescription, providing detailed information regarding medications, including how the drug works, possible side effects and other drugs, food and drinks to avoid while taking the prescription.

Understanding prescriptions and over-the-counter medications is the key to safe, effective and appropriate use. Recognizing this, and in keeping with our mission, Providence Little Company of Mary strives to offer education for the community regarding pharmaceutical care. Our physicians and pharmacists provide lectures and programs on the many aspects of pharmaceutical care.
