Ask Your Pharmacist: A Leading Pharmacist Answers Your Most Frequently Asked Questions grew out of pharmacist Lisa Chavis's eponymous column, as well as her work as an interactive pharmacist for drugstore.com. Chavis offers alternative, over-the-counter and prescriptive drug treatments for minor complaints aches, pains, strains. (Her mentions of brand names reflect personal experience and not corporate endorsement, she carefully notes.) This book may be most useful for addressing the sorts of embarrassing matters that, even in this confessional age, we'd rather not discuss face to face: constipation, crab lice, diarrhea, excessive sweating, etc. Agent, Sheryl Fullerton.
