Patients who fill their prescriptions at the Phelps Community Pharmacy now have an opportunity to learn about their medications and how to use them safely with a new smartphone service called Meds on Cue. Scanning the QR code (barcode) on the receipt with a smartphone provides access to an educational video about the medication in English or Spanish. It also allows the patient to call the pharmacy automatically and request email or text reminders to take a medication or refill a prescription.
