Meet Samer – Your Pharmacist

​

My name is Samer Altameemi R.Ph. (People call me Sam), a licensed pharmacist in the State of Oregon with more than eight years of U.S. pharmacy experience in retail, hospital, and compounding settings. I began my pharmacy journey in 2000, earned my Master of Science in Pharmaceutical Chemistry in 2006, and became a licensed pharmacist in 2016.

I’ve worked across major pharmacy chains and hospital systems—including Walmart, CVS, Fred Meyer, Safeway-Albertsons, Kroger, and OHSU. In every setting, one problem kept appearing:

People stand in front of crowded OTC shelves not knowing what to choose.

​

They grab what’s familiar or what they saw online—even when it isn’t the safest or most effective option for their symptoms. That gap between patients and the pharmacy aisle is what inspired me to create Find OTC.

My focus has always been:

  • Medication safety

  • Clear product selection

  • Patient-centered education

  • Practical, real-world guidance

​

Find OTC is my way of bringing that same support to you—anytime you need it.
