Like many of clubs and groups at SaddleBrooke Ranch, the Wellness Roundup had suspended talks due to the pandemic quarantine. Now that summer has moved into fall, we are starting the Wellness Roundup talks using a different method to present to our Ranch neighbors.
On Tuesday, Oct. 13, at 3 p.m., we will host Dr. Jack Fincham, Doctor of Pharmacy, to present a talk titled “Over the Counter Pain Medications: Benefits and Cautions” via Zoom video conferencing. Registration is required.
Register in advance for this meeting at shorturl.at/sAQYZ.
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
Each kind of pain medicine has benefits and risks. Some types of pain respond better to one kind of medicine than to another kind. What takes away your pain might not work for someone else. Dr. Fincham’s talk will give you a better understanding of what medicine might benefit your pain and when to be cautious.
