Summer headache consultations benefit National Headache Foundation
education, research
Summer isn’t any fun when you have a headache. But for many of the 30
million Americans who suffer from migraine headaches, solutions for
soothing headache symptoms may be just around the corner.
In recognition of National Headache Awareness Week, SUPERVALU
PHARMACIES will offer special one-on-one consultations with a
specially-trained SUPERVALU pharmacist to help headache sufferers
manage their symptoms, and at the same time, raise money for the
National Headache Foundation’s (NHF) Migraine Million campaign.
The in-store headache consultations will start June 7th – the
beginning of National Headache Awareness Week – and continue through
August 31st. During the two-part consultations, patients will
work with a SUPERVALU clinical pharmacist to determine what
triggers may be causing their headaches and how to avoid them. Also,
patients will learn how keeping a headache diary can help manage
headaches and discuss what prescription treatments are available and may
be best for their individual needs.
Select SUPERVALU pharmacies operating under the retail brands of ACME
SAV-ON PHARMACY, ALBERTSONS SAV-ON PHARMACY, ALBERTSONS OSCO PHARMACY,
CUB PHARMACY, JEWEL-OSCO PHARMACY, SHAW’S OSCO PHARMACY, SHOP ‘N SAVE

“Headache is a legitimate and often treatable condition. We want
headache sufferers in the communities we serve to understand they do not
have to suffer, and also know that SUPERVALU pharmacists are available
to help,” said Chris Dimos, RPh, president, SUPERVALU PHARMACIES.
