Ozempic is dominating headlines, and pharmacy counters. This week on the J & J Pharmacy Podcast, we unpack the reality behind generic Ozempic, share a revealing erectile dysfunction case, and discuss how pharmacists can manage expectations when patient wants collide with clinical judgment.

After a three-year hiatus, The J & J Pharmacy Podcast is officially back, and better than ever. Season 2 kicks off with a fresh look, a renewed vision, and an exciting addition to the team as Jordan joins the podcast as the newest “J.”

In this premiere episode, the hosts reflect on the journey that brought the podcast back to life and give a heartfelt thank you to John for the time, effort, and dedication he poured into the original J & J Pharmacy Podcast, without which this reboot wouldn’t be possible. With gratitude for the past and excitement for the future, the guys dive into what this next chapter holds.

While pharmacy topics remain at the core of the show, Season 2 promises lighter, more relatable conversations with the addition of humor and everyday topics to keep things fun and engaging. In today’s episode, the guys catch up on what life has been like since graduating university, discuss the Canada Student Loan Forgiveness Program, and even share some important (and practical) workout recommendations.

A new season, a new J, and the same passion for pharmacy. Welcome back to The J & J Pharmacy Podcast!

To help round out our Pharmasave Miniseries, we had the fantastic opportunity to interview Mehul Patel, the owner of the Clive location.

It’s almost a recurring theme at this point, but Mehul also had an interesting career journey, actually working as a scientist before deciding to switch to pharmacy as he was eager to seek connection with patients. From there, he worked in the corporate world for almost 10 years before partnering with one of his best buddies to open 2 pharmacies, something that he wishes that he would have done earlier.

A fun fact about Mehul is that despite being a vegetarian and having never tasted liquor in his life, he actually owns a Steakhouse restaurant!

This was a fantastic last episode and Mehul was able to share some amazing wisdom about why rural pharmacy is so awesome and the reasons why you should consider doing it yourself.
