Now more than ever, patients are taking control of their health by relying on a pharmacist. Our pharmacists are medication experts and can help you better understand your medications. Accessible and convenient, our pharmacists are available to help you with a variety of clinical pharmacy services, such as Medication Review Assessments.

Our pharmacists have been delivering Medication Reviews since 2011. The service provides you with a one-on-one consultation with a pharmacist in a semi-private area of the pharmacy to discuss your prescription medications, as well as any over-the-counter meds, vitamins and natural health products you may also be taking. Our pharmacist will also provide you with a Best Possible Medication History (BPMH), a form that lists all of your medications. You can use this form as a reminder to take your medications or share it with your family doctor or other health-care professional.

WHY GET A MEDICATION REVIEW?

If you have been prescribed at least five medications in the last six months, you may be at a higher risk of a drug related complication and you may benefit from our Medication Review Services.  The aim of the service is to help patients better understand their medications. When you understand your medications – from why you are taking them, when to take them, and how to best take them – you make informed decisions and have greater ownership of your overall health.

IMPROVE YOUR OWN HEALTH

Better knowledge + informed decisions = better overall health

A Medication Review, as compared to usual care can have a positive impact on drug-related outcomes for most patients, such as:

- decrease in the number of drug-related problems,

- positive changes to medication list,

- dosage decreases in current medications,

- medication suggestions for therapies left untreated,

- ensuring lab and bloodwork is current to monitor therapy,

- reviewing refills and renewals.


 Medications Reviews hope to have an effect on mortality, hospital admissions/healthcare use, the number of patients falling or physical and cognitive functioning. Pharmacist-led Medication Review have beneficial effects on medical surrogate markers, such as glycemic indices, blood pressure, lipid levels, medication adherence, and resolution of drug-related problems/adverse drug reactions.
