At Pharmasave we strongly believe that being well informed is the first step toward achieving your best health. To provide service beyond "just filling prescriptions" we carry more than average number of pharmacy staff. You are now able to book time to have your pharmacist's undivided attention to talk privately about your medicines and how they are working for you. These consultations by appointment can cover topics such as:

• Medication reviews: complete reviews to help make sense of all the medications you are taking.
• Health Management: in depth information about medical conditions and the medications used to treat them, as well as helping you monitor conditions such as diabetes, asthma or high blood pressure
• Training: to teach you how to use devices such as blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, and asthma medicine inhalers.
• Medication packaging: we can organize your medicines in blister packages to help simplify complicated medication schedules.

 

NEW
Livewell Lifestyle Profile and Plan: A review of lifestyle habits, current health, and future health risks to develop a personal action plan to achieve better health for the long term.

Managed Care Programs at the workplace: Help to reduce medication expenses through the promotion of good health through nutrition, exercise, quit smoking programs and medication reviews.

Our pharmacists are encouraged to keep up with the most recent advances in pharmacy practice, and all have received extra credit from the Canadian Council on Continuing Education in Pharmacy. Some of the certificates include: Drug Induced Nutrient Depletion, Lifestyle Management, Asthma Management, Diabetes Management, and Emergency Contraception Program.

Our technicians have also received extra training in SIGVARIS support stocking fitting, wound care management products and ostomy care.

At Pharmasave our goal is to keep our staff up-to-date, and available for one-on-one attention to help you manage and improve all facets of your good health.
