00:00 Sometimes, you might have heard or been told that you just TikToked that and you're still TikToking!
00:08 True!
00:09 But aside from singing and dancing, skits are fun.
00:13 You can also learn new things from it.
00:16 Right, especially on topics that are not easy to understand, like medicine.
00:21 And that's the content of Licensed Pharmacists and Happy Feel of Netizens.
00:27 [music]
00:33 And she's the winner of TikTok Creator of the Year in 2023!
00:38 She has 3.7 million followers and 100 million likes on TikTok.
00:43 And she's one of our collaborators on TikTok, Arshie Larga.
00:48 Good morning, Arshie!
00:50 Yay! Arshie!
00:52 Good morning!
00:53 Arshie, you look so pretty there!
00:55 Thank you!
00:57 It's giving modern Filipino, modern barong.
01:00 And you're a part of Morning K-Pop Idol.
01:04 Thank you so much!
01:06 Thank you to my stylist, Nash August.
01:08 Are you exploring that too?
01:11 Yes, so that we don't always wear scrubs.
01:14 That's my image in the boutique, always wearing scrubs.
01:17 So that when I go out, I can wear that too.
01:20 It's different.
01:21 Congratulations for winning.
01:23 TikTok is so big.
01:25 TikTok Content Creator of the Year.
01:28 How do you feel about that?
01:30 I'm overwhelmed.
01:32 I didn't expect that so many content creators are getting popular every day.
01:37 And that I'm the one who will be chosen for this category.
01:40 But I'm so thankful to the people who are supporting me.
01:43 Because if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to achieve my achievements.
01:47 So thank you to the people who are supporting me.
01:50 And appreciating my content.
01:52 For sure, your content is so good.
01:56 That's why you're not a top creator anymore.
02:00 People are learning from you.
02:02 They're more important than you.
02:03 Oh, that's how it is?
02:05 Yes, that's right.
02:06 Arshie, you're a licensed pharmacist.
02:09 And we've heard that a lot of people are learning from your videos.
02:12 Especially the information about the medicines.
02:15 What pushed you to make informative content on TikTok?
02:18 I'm not that cute.
02:22 He's humble.
02:24 I can't keep up with the trends on TikTok.
02:27 So during the pandemic, since I'm a licensed pharmacist.
02:31 And I'm in need of information about medicines.
02:34 Because a lot of people are sick and don't know what to take.
02:37 So I thought, why not apply what I know as a pharmacist.
02:41 And share it with more people.
02:43 Not only to my customers in my boutique.
02:45 But also to the people who watch my TikTok platform.
02:47 That's where it all started.
02:49 That's great.
02:50 In your videos, you're in your own boutique.
02:54 The content that we see.
02:56 What's the reaction of people who buy from you?
02:58 You're already famous.
03:00 Who's famous?
03:01 There's no one.
03:02 [Laughs]
03:03 You're just like that in your selfie.
03:05 Yes, there's someone like that.
03:06 There's someone like that in our boutique.
03:08 There's a small window.
03:09 And then, when it's time to buy, people will be like this.
03:13 [Laughs]
03:14 Are you on TikTok?
03:16 Can I take a selfie?
03:17 Sure.
03:18 [Laughs]
03:19 But it's funny that people recognize me.
03:22 Not only me, but also the pharmacists in our profession.
03:25 Absolutely.
03:26 Correct.
03:27 In your content, you're giving blessings.
03:30 And you get to share it with the people who buy from you.
03:33 In your boutique.
03:34 Like in this video.
03:36 Look.
03:37 Look here.
03:39 Be careful.
03:41 Before you fall asleep.
03:43 What is it?
03:45 Where is it?
03:46 Here.
03:47 You have a discount?
03:48 What?
03:49 You have a discount?
03:50 Your medicine is free.
03:51 Oh, it's free?
03:52 Yes.
03:53 Thank you.
03:54 I'll give it to you on Christmas.
03:55 Okay.
03:56 I got this from my first child.
03:59 What's your name?
04:00 What?
04:01 What's your name?
04:02 RC.
04:03 Okay.
04:04 I'm the oldest in the family.
04:05 There.
04:06 So you gave them free medicine.
04:07 Yes.
04:08 That's how I started giving free medicine to them.
04:10 When did you give the money to them?
04:12 Or did someone donate it to you?
04:14 Christmas.
04:15 It was like people donated Christmas gifts.
04:18 But I just posted my QR code.
04:20 Because it's like, "Hey, let me ask for a mask."
04:22 And then I donated like 3,000 pesos during that time.
04:26 So I said, "Since I have extra money, why don't I share it with people?"
04:31 And then they became my prototype.
04:33 Correct.
04:34 And then I just bid it so that people would see the reaction.
04:36 At first, I thought they would be angry.
04:38 Or like, "Hey, you're just cloud chasing.
04:40 You're using people for cloud."
04:42 But eventually, I saw that they appreciated my donation.
04:44 And maybe they saw how genuine my action was.
04:48 And I'm not doing this for cloud.
04:50 I'm just posting it again for transparency of the people who donate.
04:54 Correct.
04:55 Because from the start, more people donated to you.
04:57 Yes.
04:58 That's why I was able to give free medicine.
04:59 Because people are just through donations.
05:01 So I owe a lot to them for what I was able to do today.
05:04 It's like I became a path.
05:06 But the credit must go to my donors.
05:10 It's so nice to watch.
05:12 And it's also nice to see that your hair is different.
05:14 It's straight.
05:16 Correct.
05:17 It's different.
05:18 Sometimes, it's colored.
05:19 Sometimes, it's colored.
05:21 One of the amazing skills of pharmacists is reading the recipes of doctors.
05:29 Even though it's hard for me sometimes because you know, it's written like this.
05:32 We sample recipes.
05:35 So please read our sheet.
05:37 And explain what this medicine is for.
05:41 Okay.
05:42 So let's read this.
05:43 Oh my God.
05:44 What is this?
05:45 What is this?
05:46 Is it written?
05:47 Just kidding.
05:48 But I think this is like paracetamol 100mg.
05:50 So this is drops.
05:51 It's a drop.
05:52 Because look, 0.8ml every 4 hours for temperature greater than 37.6.
05:57 So how can I read it?
05:59 Okay.
06:00 Just to be clear, as a pharmacist, we don't study the prescription of doctors.
06:04 Because we studied different kinds of medicines for 4-5 years.
06:09 That's why we are familiar with them.
06:10 But let's make it straight.
06:13 We should not normalize these handwritings.
06:16 Because we should remember that pharmacists should not be the only ones who understand the prescription.
06:20 But also our customers.
06:22 Because at the end of the day, if we didn't get the prescription and we didn't explain it,
06:27 what if the customer forgot how to drink the medicine?
06:30 Where will he refer?
06:31 But in that prescription.
06:32 So the prescription should be legible to our customers.
06:36 Because that's how it is.
06:38 If it's a bad prescription, it should be legalized.
06:41 But it's good that there are printed prescriptions.
06:46 So it's an innovative upgrade.
06:49 I love that.
06:50 That's a bit of a Viber.
06:51 You know that.
06:52 Picture, picture.
06:53 And because you're already a fan of Let Me Explain,
06:57 we will do it live.
06:59 We have a few questions for our fans that you will explain.
07:03 That's why I'm already on your side.
07:06 We also have a boutique here.
07:08 It's so cute.
07:10 Alright, let's start.
07:11 Wait, let's get the boutique ready.
07:13 Consultation.
07:14 This is it.
07:15 Look at that.
07:17 No problem, sir.
07:20 I hope you make a mistake.
07:22 Do I need to eat before I drink the medicine?
07:25 Okay, when it comes to these topics,
07:27 it depends on Let Me Explain.
07:29 For example, you're drinking Omeprazole,
07:32 a medicine for insomnia.
07:33 You need to drink this medicine 30 minutes before you eat.
07:39 But when it comes to antibiotics,
07:41 you need to drink it after you eat
07:44 to avoid the pain of your stomach.
07:47 Those are the different side effects of antibiotics.
07:49 So for that question, it depends on what medicine you're drinking.
07:52 If you're drinking this before or after meals.
07:55 Always remember to ask the pharmacist
07:57 if you're going to drink the medicine with or without food.
08:01 Alright.
08:03 Thank you so much, Arshie.
08:06 And congratulations to you.
08:09 I hope you get more inspiration and help with your craft.
08:13 Thank you so much.
08:14 Thank you, Arshie.
