    There was a national shortage of my regular contraception and my usual online pharmacy wasn't cutting it, suggesting I should go over to another med. I was loathe to have to deal with any new set of side effects. Independent pharmacy listened to my concerns, took time to double check for me, and very quickly the meds came. Will use next time!

What is Hana used for?
