THE PHARMER’S MARKET Have you heard the buzz about Buzzy®? Flu season may seem like months away but now’s the time to start thinking about your strategy to grow that area of your business. A 2012 study by Target found 23% of adults who do not get immunized avoid shots because of needle pain and fear. Buzzy® is a handheld, affordable, reusable pain relief device. Proven to decrease needle pain from IVs, Buzzy’s cold and vibration can help for burning biologic shots, stings, splinters, first aid, and even itching! For more on Buzzy, contact info@mmjlabs.com, follow on Twitter @Buzzy4shots or check out their website at www.buzzy4shots.com to learn more! The Pharmer’s Market brings you new ideas, products and services to your pharmacy. Have a suggestion for a future Pharmer’s Market profile? Email us at SMaitland@TacitAlmonds.com.
