Acton Pharmacist Meets with Sen. Ed Markey

Saad Dinno, the co-owner of Acton Pharmacy, discussed issues facing his industry during a conference this week in Washington, D.C.

Dinno met with U.S. Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and attended conferences held by the National Community Pharmacists Association and the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists.

“The two visits were a great opportunity to talk about the pressing issues currently facing independent community pharmacies and pharmacies that specialize in compounding, such as Acton Pharmacy,” Dinno said in a statement.

He also discussed pharmacy issues with Markey's senior policy advisor.

“I was able to express my views on the importance of compounding pharmacy for patients who have a vital need for customized medication,” said Dinno.
