Taking medication can be very confusing, especially when you are prescribed more than one medication at a time. You may be asking questions and not receiving answers in a way you can understand. 

 

• What are the side effects that this medicine might cause?

• Does this medication interact with any of my other medications, over-the-counter products, or herbals and supplements?

• Should I take this pill with food or on an empty stomach?

• Is there a cheaper alternative?

• I’m tired of taking so many pills! Can anything be stopped safely?

 

These questions and many others can be answered by your Consultant Pharmacist specialist.

 

Consultant Pharmacists provide one-on-one consultation with you and your family, often in your home or community center.
