Reminder Tools
With your busy lifestyle and schedule, remembering to take your medication may not rank high in your list of priorities. Fortunately, there are tools that can help you keep on track.
Pill-Packs
Using a weekly, bimonthly or monthly pill-pack can help you organize and take your medication exactly as prescribed. Ask your pharmacist if you can benefit from this service.
Simplified Renewals
If you need to renew your medication every month, have your pharmacist set up automatic renewals, so you don’t forget. Come pick your medication up every time, at the same time during the month.
Synchronization
If you’re on multiple medications or manage your family’s, why not pick them all at once at the pharmacy once a month? Your pharmacist can synchronize your medication renewals at the same date.
Prescription for Medical Supplies
If you have chronic conditions, your pharmacist may prescribe certain medical supplies:
Diabetes: needles, syringes, blood glucose monitor and sensor.
Hypertension: blood pressure monitor.
Respiratory condition: spacer for inhalers.
Prescription Extension
If your prescription is about to expire and you can’t get to a doctor in time, your pharmacist can extend it.
This ensures your medication therapy is never interrupted and gives you enough time to book an appointment with your healthcare professional.
