Should I consult for the flu given my heart condition?

Yes, it is recommended to consult a pharmacist for influenza, especially if you have a heart condition. A pharmacist can now prescribe a medication like Tamiflu to help reduce the risk of complications from the flu. It is best to have the initial consultation over the phone to minimize contact with others while you have symptoms. It is also a good idea to get tested for COVID as a precaution.
