**First, an important clarification: these are OTC dietary supplements, not drugs - so no medical claims should ever be made about them, whether you're talking to patients or colleagues.

**In this video, Dr. Lisa Faast breaks down the new GLP-1 Bridge Program and what pharmacy owners need to understand before participating.
