Osaka City holds lectures on medicines for citizens in order to disseminate and enlighten the proper use of medicines. The pharmacist explains in an easy-to-understand way how to use the medicine properly, such as drug interactions and side effects.
In addition, with the recent spread of new coronavirus infections, there has been a marked increase in false health information and Internet advertisements that take advantage of citizens' anxiety. In order not to be deceived by advertisements, we will hold lectures to learn correct health information and how to read advertisements along with medicine lectures.
