A 30-minute annual appointment with a pharmacist to review your medications and help you better understand your drug therapy Why should you have your medications reviewed every year by a pharmacist?

• You will get an opportunity to get all your questions answered about your drug therapy.
• We will review your medications to ensure that you are only taking those medications that you need to. Quite often we end up on medications long term without realizing that we don’t need to be on them.
• Any side effects that you may be experiencing can be reviewed at this appointment. Your pharmacist can then contact your doctor on your behalf to suggest alternative medication.
• We will help you identify the right time to take your medications so that you can get the best out of them.
• You will get an updated list of medications including over the counter medications that you can keep with you for your next doctor’s visit.
