  • Prescription dispensing and refill management: We dispense medications based on accurate verification of physician instructions and offer refill reminders to help maintain consistent treatment schedules.
     

  • Medication reviews and compliance packaging: Our pharmacists conduct medication assessments to ensure safe use, especially for patients on multiple prescriptions. Compliance packaging (such as blister packs) is available to simplify daily routines.
     

  • Coordination with prescribers: We work directly with healthcare providers to clarify prescriptions, manage therapeutic substitutions where needed, and follow up on renewals to avoid interruptions in care.
     

  • Medication counselling and patient education: Each prescription includes clear instructions. Patients are encouraged to ask questions about dosage, timing, side effects, and potential interactions with over-the-counter products or supplements.
     

  • Monitoring and support for long-term conditions: Patients managing long-term conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart disease benefit from regular pharmacist follow-up and adjustments in medication management plans as needed.​
