Chakira McCain is the PR and Marketing person for Discount Rx Pharmacy, a privately owned pharmacy, located inside the Lake Huron Medical Center in Fort Gratiot at 4190 24th Avenue, Suite 100. The pharmacy is a member of the Blue Water Area Chamber of Commerce in Port Huron and have been in our area for about two years. While the main store is in Flint, Chakira talked with WGRT’s Cathie Martin about the services Discount Pharmacy offers at this location. She says they are a full-service pharmacy, and along with regular prescriptions, they offer free delivery, free vitamins once a month for both adults and children and compliance packaging means they will package all of a person’s medications in a daily blister pack — so they don’t have to juggle pill bottles or spend time moving meds from their vials to pill boxes. The packaged meds come with information about what the meds are, which doctor prescribed them and how they are to be taken – all this at no extra charge. On Tuesdays, she says, it is Senior’s day – all seniors sixty years of age and older receive a 15% discount on over the counter items. Charkira states that they accept prescriptions from all doctors, not strictly those with offices in the building. Regular pharmacy hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (Content was sponsored through the Blue Water Chamber of Commerce)
