Sports Pharmacists

Resources for pharmacists working in sports as the medication experts. We advocate for patient-athlete health and sports integrity!

Most athletes are healthy but the expanding world of medications is complex and the sports pharmacist is a reliable, trusted source of personalized drug information.

We pledge to support athletes reaching for their personal best performance without the use of performance enhancing drugs. 

Sports pharmacists understand appropriate medical indications for use, counsel on use and monitor medication response. As drug experts, pharmacists know when patient-athletes should avoid certain treatments or get an alternative prescription instead. 

Did you know that Pharmacists specialize in selecting self-treatment with over the counter medications? We also recognize risks of dietary supplements use and appreciate that athletes feel pressure to use them.
