FAQ's

What is a home medication review, and who should get one?

A home medication review involves a pharmacist examining all the medications a person takes, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs and supplements. The goal is to ensure the medications are appropriate, effective and safe when used together.

This service is particularly helpful for people who take multiple medications, those managing chronic conditions or anyone who experiences side effects or isn’t sure about the correct usage of their prescriptions. A home medication review can prevent harmful interactions and improve overall health management.
How can a home medication review improve my health?

A home medication review offers numerous benefits. It ensures that all your medications are necessary, safe and effective. By identifying potential drug interactions, duplicate therapies or outdated prescriptions, it can reduce the risk of side effects or complications.

Additionally, it provides an opportunity for a healthcare professional to explain your medications in detail, helping you understand their purpose and proper usage. This clarity can improve medication adherence, ensuring you take the right medicines at the right time for the best outcomes.
How often should I have a medcheck done?

The frequency of medchecks depends on your health needs. Generally, if you’re on long-term medications or have experienced changes in your prescriptions, it’s a good idea to have a medcheck every six to twelve months.

Regular medchecks help ensure that your medications remain effective as your health evolves. They can also provide an opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have, such as new side effects or changes in your health condition. Regular reviews can improve your overall treatment plan and keep your medications up to date.
