medication that fits your lifestyle
What is a Medication Review and Why Does It Matter?
During this personalized review, we take a close look at everything you’re taking—from prescription drugs to vitamins, supplements, and over-the-counter products. Our goal? To catch any red flags like side effects, duplicate therapies, or possible drug interactions—and to make sure your medication routine fits your lifestyle.
When You Need a Medication Review
These reviews are especially valuable if:
- You take multiple medications
- You are managing one or more chronic health conditions
- You have recently been hospitalized or had an ER visit
- You are feeling unsure about how to take your medications properly
- You’re experiencing new symptoms or side effects
- You’ve started seeing a new specialist
- Your health insurance coverage has changed
Our Patient-First Approach
While most Alberta pharmacies offer medication reviews, at Dispensaries Ltd., we approach this service with an unwavering commitment to ethical practice and patient-centred care. Every recommendation we make is in your best interest—never influenced by inventory considerations or financial incentives.
Our pharmacists take the time to understand your unique circumstances, health goals, and concerns. We don’t rush through reviews or apply one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we provide personalized recommendations based on the latest clinical evidence and your individual needs.
Pharmacists are trained to work collaboratively with you and your healthcare team, as needed, to adjust your medication regimen for improved safety, effectiveness, and convenience.
We’ll sit down with you, go through your medications, answer your questions, and work with your doctor if any changes are needed. Whether it’s simplifying your regimen, adjusting doses, or switching to more effective options, we’re here to make your treatment safer, easier, and more effective.
Have some expired medications at home? We also offer medication disposal.
No-Cost Annual Care Plan for Albertans
As an Albertan, you are entitled to one annual care plan review at no cost to you. This service is covered for eligible patients and includes regular follow-ups with your pharmacist to track progress and adjust your health plan as needed. Several factors can affect how your medications work, and eligibility can depend on:
- The combinations of medications you take
- The health conditions being treated for
- Your weight, smoking habits, alcohol, and recreational drug use
Our pharmacists are here to help you build a personalized health plan and support your health goals. Whether that’s managing chronic conditions, improving medication adherence, or making lifestyle changes. Follow-ups are conducted regularly with your pharmacist, who ensures you are on track with your health plan.
