Medication Shouldn’t Be Confusing

A medication review 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. Just bring your Health Card. The 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.

Flu Shots and Vaccines

This year, get your flu shot at our pharmacy. It’s your best defense against the flu. Simply visit our pharmacy and have your flu shot administered by one of our
certified Pharmacists. Please bring your provincial health card.

You may also consider getting vaccinated for Shingles. Shingles is an infection caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. This virus is called the varicella zoster virus. Even after chicken pox blisters heal, the varicella zoster virus stays in the body for life. If it becomes active again, it causes shingles. Two out of every 10 people will get shingles in their lifetime.  This risk increases as you get older, especially over 50 years of age.  Shingles is a painful, blistering rash that can last several weeks and cause skin infections and scarring. It is very important for people with a weak immune system to see their healthcare providers right away if they think they have shingles.

Talk to your doctor or healthcare professional today to find out how to help protect yourself against shingles.
