Pharmacy Services and Home Health Care Products

After the consultation, we will provide you with a comprehensive medication chart and list of medications. These will include your prescription medications, vitamins, and over-the-counter medications.

Make sure your medication list is updated at all times. This is important for when you have a planned or unplanned hospital admission. Also, your family should know where this list is in case you cannot convey this information yourself.

Our MedsCheck service is paid for by the government and is available on an annual basis. To schedule your consultation, contact our pharmacy today and speak with one of our staff members.

Being diagnosed with a health condition can leave you and your family feeling overwhelmed and scared. We encourage you to learn as much as possible about your condition so you can manage it properly. Our pharmacy has a variety of resources available to provide education on different health conditions.

We know it is not always easy to remember what medications you are taking. This can be even more difficult if you become ill and need medical attention. For this reason, we provide medication wallet cards.

We will create an up-to-date list of your medications in a convenient, wallet-sized card. Carry it with you at all times so that caregivers or other health care professionals can be informed of your medication use. Take it with you to your next doctor’s appointment to ensure all of your medications are accounted for when you get your medications renewed.

Contact us to ask for your medication wallet card today. Make sure to get it updated if your medications change.

• Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all of your medications, including over-the-counter and herbal medications.
• Always carry a wallet card that lists all of your medications and health conditions.
• Go to the same pharmacy for all of your health and medication needs. Tell a pharmacy team member if you get a prescription filled at another pharmacy.
• Check with our pharmacist before you take any over-the-counter medications.
• Unless you are using a pillbox, keep your medications in the original bottle.
• Bring expired medications to us for safe disposal.
• Don’t use expired medications.
• Don’t stop taking your medications without speaking to your physician or pharmacist first.

The role of the pharmacist is evolving rapidly and becoming more patient-centered than product-centered. Although pharmacists are considered “drug experts,” they have extensive knowledge and skills that can improve your overall health. They can help in any of the following areas:

• Providing education about various disease conditions, including osteoporosis, diabetes, and hypertension
• Answering questions that you may have about your medication use
• Providing important advice on OTC products (vitamins, herbals, coughs and colds, analgesics, etc.) to prevent unsafe medication use
• Providing advice about lifestyle modifications (nutrition, smoking cessation, and physical activity) that can prevent many chronic diseases and allow you to live well

Did you know that 9 out of 10 Canadians will develop high blood pressure in their lifetime? High blood pressure, also called hypertension, can cause strokes, heart attacks, heart failure, and kidney failure.

High blood pressure often has no signs or symptoms, which is why it is called the “silent killer.” When it is detected early, you can get the treatment necessary to reduce your risks. Our pharmacy provides free blood pressure monitoring, so come in today to check yours. We also sell a variety of home blood pressure monitors.

We will provide you with a blood pressure card that records your results, and you can go online to print these results before your appointment. If you do not have a computer, we can print it for you.

There is often a false belief that non-prescription medications are safe to use. All medications, including herbals, can actually be dangerous for people who have certain health conditions or are taking other medications.

Speak with our pharmacists before choosing any over-the-counter product to ensure that the medication is a safe option for you. Ask us before you purchase any of the following:

• Compression stockings
• Specialty vitamins (Metagenics, AOR, and Lorna Vanderhaeghe)
• Bug bite gel
• Specially compounded muscle relaxant cream
