Rostered patients with questions or concerns regarding your prescriptions or over the counter medications who may be experiencing side effects, have kidney issues, want to simplify your prescription regimen or know more about your medications can book a medication assessment. A medication review/ assessment is strongly encouraged for every patient on 5 or more medications.
Our pharmacists review in detail each medication you are on with a focus on medication indication, effectiveness, safety, and compliance. They review when is the best time to take them, what adverse effects can happen, what possible drug interactions can happen and is the medication doing what it is supposed to do.
A few questions that a medication assessment can answer for you are:
A medication review can be especially helpful if you have memory concerns, coming off opioid or a benzodiazepine medication.
If you are a rostered patient please contact the Family Health Team reception for an appointment with our pharmacist.
