Medication Shouldn’t Be Confusing

MedsCheck is a program that allows you to schedule a 20 to 30 minute one-to-one meeting with our pharmacists to ensure that you are safely and appropriately using all types of medication. Think of it as a comprehensive medication review. And it´s free!  Just bring your OHIP card. The MedsCheck appointment is your chance to discuss how your prescription, over-the-counter and alternative medications may be affecting each other.

During this one-on-one meeting, you will have an opportunity to learn about your medications and medical condition(s).  As part of this service you will benefit by:

• Gaining better understanding of drug names, strengths, adverse effects and usage instructions.  This may include over-the-counter and/or herbal medications.

• Understanding the benefit of taking your medications as your Doctor has directed.

• Investigating strategies to manage any adverse effects or issues surrounding the medications you take.

• Discussing other resources available to educate you and support your continued good health.
