    How PBMs Are Putting Mom & Pop Pharmacies Out Of Business

    Pharmacy benefits managers are middle men whose original purpose was to negotiate pharmacy contracts for insurance companies to save everyone money on drug spend. That’s not what’s happening in practice. Tune in to learn how PBMs are helping inflate drug costs for everyone and why you should support your local pharmacy. Episode featuring John Bellitti, RPh and Vince Bellitti. Both are owners at HB Pharmacy.

    Auto Immune Diseases and Low Dose Naltrexone

    We're back!!! For our first episode of Behind the Counter in a few years, our very own compounding pharmacist John Bellitti discusses compounded Low Dose Naltrexone, also known as LDN. LDN isn't a new drug, but is now being used in new ways under the guidance of a licensed physician to possibly help manage auto immune diseases. By working with a compounding pharmacy, some patients and physicians have seen positive benefits.  If you or someone you know has an auto immune disease that hasn't responded well to traditional therapy or commercially available medication, please give us a call at HB Pharmacy 201-997-2010.  We'd be happy to provide some information about Low Dose Naltrexone and refer you to physicians we work with that may be able to help you.

    The Dangers Of Opioids and Fentanyl

    At HB Pharmacy, caring for the community is our top priority which is why we’re urging you to watch this video about the dangers of Fentanyl. With overdose rates climbing, it’s imperative to educate your family, friends and loved ones. Please help spread the message to not take any medication that’s not prescribed directly for you and filled for you by a licensed pharmacy. The motivation for this video came from a Facebook Post by Marissa Caballero about her 15 year old son Issaiah:  https://www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

    Why Quality Matters For Supplements

    "Supplements are crap!"  "Supplements are too expensive!" "Supplements don't work!" We hear all of those things and more frequently. Truthfully, it's with good reason. The dietary supplement industry as a whole can lack transparency, ESPECIALLY in terms of ingredient quality and sourcing. Mike Muoio from Ortho Molecular discusses all of that and more, including why manufacturing quality, ingredient sourcing, testing, and a commitment to excellence have helped Ortho Molecular stand out as a high quality brand trusted by practitioners and patients around the country. ______ Hosted by personal trainer / nutrition coach Vince Bellitti (NASM-CPT, WLS, Pn1) with Gaspar's Best and HB Pharmacy.
