Your Questions, Answered
We’ve gathered answers to the most common questions to help you understand our services and make the most of your experience with us.
Yes, most GLP-1 agonists require refrigeration before the first use to maintain their effectiveness. However, storage requirements can change once you start using a specific pen. We will provide precise storage instructions for your specific brand when you pick up your prescription.
Gastrointestinal issues are very common with these medications. We can recommend specific over-the-counter products, hydration strategies, and dietary changes to help mitigate nausea or upset stomach, ensuring you can continue your treatment comfortably.
Yes, GLP-1 agonists and peptide therapies are prescription-only medications. We require a valid order from your healthcare provider. Once we receive it, we will work with you to ensure you understand the dosing and administration instructions.
Absolutely. We understand that giving yourself an injection for the first time can be nerve-racking. Our pharmacist can demonstrate the correct way to use your specific pen or device, showing you where to inject and how to handle the medication safely.
You should never throw used needles into your regular household trash. We recommend using a designated sharps container to keep you and your family safe. We stock these containers at the pharmacy and can guide you on the proper way to dispose of them in Bennington.

I use Health Mart Pharmacy for my pharmaceutical needs. They are always working to make things smooth. I had a prescription for something that wasn't covered by insurance. Mike found as many coupons as he could to make my out of pocket expense affordable.
