Hi, I’m Dr. Adrianna Shardey, PharmD! I’m a “Pharminfluencer.” A PharmInfluencer is a pharmacist or pharmacy professional who uses their platform to advocate for important causes in their subject matter of expertise. My social media platform currently focuses on sexual health education, women’s health, and beauty. My mission is to use my expertise as a pharmacist to educate women about safe sex, feminine/intimate health, and to use my OTC expertise to help consumers make informed decisions when selecting product for self-care. In addition to creating digital content for my platform, I work full time as a Prior Authorization Pharmacist. Patients with chronic conditions shouldn’t have to deal with the stress of getting their medications covered. Every day I fight to help my patients get access to their medications whether it’s through their insurance, manufacturer programs, or grants.
