💊 MYTH MONDAY
❌ Myth: Pharmacists only dispense medications.
✅ Fact: Ontario pharmacists can assess and prescribe for many common minor ailments, helping you access care faster when appropriate.

Common conditions pharmacists can help assess include:
• Acne
• Cold sores
• Pink eye
• Allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
• Eczema and dermatitis
• Tick bites and Lyme disease prevention
• Canker sores
• Hemorrhoids
