Medication and Supplement Review

Helping You to get the Most out of Your Regimen!

In a medication and supplement review the goal will be to optimize or fine tune your current regimen of both pharmaceuticals and natural supplements. Our overall goal would be to encourage you to take only what you really need and eliminate what you do not need. Many clients have often wondered if they are taking their medications or supplements at the right time of the day or if they are actually benefiting from them? Others have inquired if there are alternatives to their prescriptions because they are not seeing any benefit from the drugs or experiencing side effects. We also get many questions about whether the supplements are interacting with the prescriptions?

With regards to supplements we often get asked what is the best product to take? Because there are so many supplements out there this can be overwhelming for most people. We want to decrease the stress, alleviate any confusion and help you take the guesswork out when it comes to selecting the right supplement for your specific case. We will always make sure we ask you the right questions so that we can suggest the best product for you.

In this unique service we will help you review and optimize the following with regards to each prescription and supplement you are currently taking:

• Dosage

• Quality of supplement

• Timing of day

• Compliance

• Necessity

• Effectiveness

• Possible side effects/nutrient depletions

• Possible pharmaceutical/supplement interactions

In addition and if necessary we will also:

• Educate you regarding your health condition

• Encourage you to make any lifestyle modifications that may be hindering your progress

• Help address any other unmet health needs or concerns
  

• Refer you to an appropriate allied health care professional if necessary

At the end of the session, the client should have a clear action plan on what to work on and follow up with. Depending on the complexity of the situation follow up appointments may be suggested to maximize your health outcome. At the very least touch base consults in the pharmacy would be the minimum recommendation. These brief touch base consults are provided complementary for any regular client of our pharmacy. This is one huge benefit to having your RXs filled with us. We will always try to make time to follow up with you which is the key to the success of your therapy. At the same time we will encourage you to use the least amount of pharmaceuticals whenever possible and to consider taking the supplements that are most relevant to your personal health situation.

Please see pharmacy fee schedule for consultation fees associated with this service.

"From all my years as a pharmacist, I have seen many clients end up taking medications that were not really necessary, supplements that were underdosed and vitamins/minerals that were essential but lacking from their current regimens."
