Did you know that when you participate in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), you can use these pre-tax funds to pay for over-the-counter (OTC) medicines—many which you can get at MetroHealth Pharmacy at a discounted price!

- Allergy and sinus medicine
- Digestive aids and laxatives
- Baby rash ointments and creams

And remember, when you purchase over-the-counter medicines at MetroHealth Pharmacy, you can get many of them at a discounted price.
If you’re not sure if an OTC medication can be paid for with FSA or HSA funds, stop by MetroHealth Pharmacy and talk to a pharmacist. Or call us at 216-957-MEDS for further information.
