The systems and methods generally provide the content prior to the Point of Sale (POS) of the actual prescription to allow patients to review the content and possibly act on it prior to actually obtaining the medication. Depending on embodiment, the content may be provided by a pharmacy at or around the time of dispensing or by a physician at or around the time of prescribing.
