Medication Management
Guidance on managing prescriptions safely and effectively for optimal health.
How we can help:
- Questions about your medications, vitamins, and drug coverage
- Managing ongoing health conditions like COPD, asthma, diabetes, and high blood pressure
- Handling medication changes and side effects safely
- Help quitting smoking, vaping, nicotine, or cannabis
- Special support through our clinic if you take five or more medications
- Working with your doctor to optimize your medications
Primary care pharmacists work directly with family doctors and healthcare teams in a clinic setting, and have extensive pharmaceutical knowledge and strong communication skills, allowing them to confidently consult with doctors.
Alternatively, community pharmacists work in retail pharmacies. Community pharmacists provide consultations in the pharmacy store setting and supply your medications. Pharmacists in both practice settings work together to optimize your medications.
Understanding Medication Management
Primary care pharmacists check all your medicines and supplements to make sure they are organized and easy to take. They look for any problems between different drugs, help you understand changes to your medications after you leave the hospital, and work with you to handle any side effects.
Did You Know?
Our team can order pharmacogenomic testing ($) to check how your genes affect how medications work for you. Our test looks at 130 different medicines to see which ones work best with your body. This helps find the right medications that match your genetic makeup, avoiding ones that might not work well for you.
