Advice about health conditions from a community pharmacy
For many people the community pharmacy is the first place to go when they feel unwell. Whether it’s acne, a cough that won’t clear, allergies or a worrying rash, pharmacists can help, either with a medication available over the counter or reassurance you that you won’t be wasting your doctor’s time if you ask for an appointment!
Our online pharmacy is no different. Here are some quick guides to common health problems. But if you need a consultation with a community pharmacist, we can provide that, wherever you are in Canada.
Medicines use reviews
Our pharmacists can talk with you about the medications you have been prescribed for one or more long-term conditions like COPD or asthma. They can help you manage any side effects that are troubling you. They can check that you still need to take all the meds that you are taking. And they can adjust your prescription if it is not working for you.
Pharmacists can also help if you find it difficult to remember to take your medications, or if the packing or container is difficult for you to open.
Let your pharmacist know about any allergies you might have and they can check to make sure all your meds are safe for you to take.
