Aiming to be the family pharmacy trusted by everyone

As our country's birthrate declines and the population ages, we believe that the desire to stay healthy forever will increase even further.
We believe that our role in this situation is to be a pharmacy that responds to all aspects of life, including disease prevention, health maintenance, and healthy living.
What is important to us at Kizaki Pharmacy is to continue to be a pharmacy that is needed by the customers.
All of our employees will remain committed to continuing to be a pharmacy that meets the expectations and excitement of everyone.

Aiming to be a trusted family pharmacy

Based on our experience in building strong ties with the customers, Kizaki Pharmacy is committed to contributing to improving adherence by providing not only convenient access to medications, but also professional advice and better services, including confirmation of duplicate dosing and past medication status to help patients take their medications voluntarily. 
Each and every employee of our pharmacy has the responsibility and pride of being a representative of the company, and we will always strive to improve our medical services and become a trusted family pharmacy by providing sincere and prompt services.

We dispense medications based on prescriptions issued by medical institutions and provide patients with medication guidance so that they can take their medications with peace of mind.
The objective of the insurance pharmacy business is to improve the quality of life (QOL) of patients. We consider our insurance pharmacy business to be a service business.
We not only provide medications according to the prescription, but also offer advice on how to take medications correctly and answer any questions or concerns about medications.
Based on our knowledge of clinical pharmacology, we are committed to providing easy-to-understand and informative advice and deliver a unique style of service in the way we treat our patients.

We check and prepare the medicine according to each individual’s situation.

Please bring your prescription from the hospital.
We keep a prescription chart for each patient to prevent adverse reactions to medications that are not compatible with the patient's body, such as allergies.
Furthermore, when you visit several hospitals at the same time, we will carefully check your medications and precautions to ensure that there are no duplications or improper combinations of medications.
Please consult with us not only about the effects and side effects of your medications, but also about anything else, such as health counseling and consultation about medications prescribed elsewhere.

■Prescriptions must be brought within 4 days, including the day they are issued.

We also carry generic medicine.

• What is a generic medicine?

There are two types of prescription medicine: brand-name medicine and generic medicine.
Brand-name medicines are the first medicines to be marketed in Japan and are granted a certain period of exclusivity after their launch.
Generic medicine are medicines manufactured and sold with the same ingredients after the patent for the brand-name medicine has expired.
Generic medicines are less expensive than brand-name medicines because development costs can be kept low.

• How safe are generic medicines?
  

Generic medicines, like new medicines, are developed, manufactured, and marketed in compliance with various strict regulations and standards under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law.
Therefore, generic medicines can be said to be of reliable quality that is recognized by the government.
Quality is also strictly controlled under the system called the Quality Reevaluation.

• Are generic medicines as effective and safe as the brand-name medicines?
  

Generic medicines, like brand-name medicines, are manufactured in compliance with the same strict regulations and standards set forth in the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law.
In addition, the ingredients of generic medicines are almost the same as those of brand-name medicines because they have already been used by many patients as brand-name medicines and their efficacy and safety have been confirmed.
Generic medicines are medicines that are developed and manufactured with the same active ingredients after the expiration of the patent of an brand-name medicine that has been used by many patients during the patent term and the efficacy and safety of its active ingredients have been fully confirmed.
Generic medicines are also subjected to testing to confirm their equivalence to new medicines (bioequivalence testing) and can only be marketed if they are compliant.

• If I switch to a generic medicine, will I always pay less for my medication?
  

In most cases they are cheaper, but not always.
There are some cases where the price difference between the brand-name medicine is so small, they cost almost the same.

• In what cases can I switch to a generic medicine?
  

If the physician's signature is written in the 'Signature or name and seal' box in the lower right hand corner of the prescription, the change cannot be made.
Furthermore, some new medications that do not have a generic version may not be able to be switched to a generic medicine.
