Pharmacy

Leaving the visit with your treatment in hand avoids one more trip, a wait at the drugstore and the doubt of whether you bought the right thing. At Clínica Hispana Corazón y Vida in Pasadena, when your visit ends we hand you the medications the provider indicated and explain in Spanish how and when to take them.

Which medications can I receive at the clinic?

• The medications indicated by the provider at your visit that day: antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, treatments for blood pressure, sugar, allergies, infections and other common ones.
• Over-the-counter products for colds, pain, fever, allergies, heartburn or diarrhea.
• Vitamins and supplements, such as folic acid or vitamin B12.
• Injections and IV drips given at the clinic itself.

Availability depends on the day's inventory; when a medication is not in stock, you are given the prescription to fill at the pharmacy of your choice.

What are the advantages?

• You start treatment the same day, without waiting or traveling.
• Staff explain dose, schedule, with or without food and which effects to watch.
• The price is known before you pay, in cash or by card, no insurance.
• When the option exists, you are offered the generic, which costs less.

How does it work?

1. The provider decides the treatment during the visit.
2. At the front desk you are told the price of each medication before it is handed over.
3. You receive the medications with written instructions and, if you have questions, they are answered in Spanish.
4. If you need to continue the treatment, it is reviewed at your next visit.

Can I buy medications without a visit?

Over-the-counter products yes, during clinic hours. Medications that require a medical indication are provided only with a visit to the clinic's provider, who reviews allergies, other medications and your history before indicating them.

What should I tell the provider?

All the medications, vitamins and remedies you take, even natural ones, your allergies and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding. With that information, interactions and wrong doses are avoided.

How much does it cost?

Each medication has its own price, stated before you pay. Ask on WhatsApp at (346) 646-2974 whether an over-the-counter product is available before you come.

Where and when?

At the clinic itself, 918 W Southmore Ave, Suite 180, Pasadena, TX 77502, every day from 9 AM to 9 PM, no appointment needed. See also diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol management.
