Did you ever have a question that why is Medication Review so Important and why it should be done on a regular basis? Here are our reasons: A large proportion of patients especially elderly patients are prescribed too many medications, typically by different clinicians. In addition, there are over-the-counter medications and natural health products taken by the patients themselves. In most cases, there is no one doctor who has reviewed and coordinated the use of all med...ications. As a result, patients face potential overtreatment, use of counteracting medications, inadequate dosing regimens and adverse drug interactions. To deal with this problem, patients should request a drug review Medication Review involves a structured and comprehensive assessment of a patient’s medications with the aim of identifying and resolving problems in order to improve health. Our pharmacists do a comprehensive review of all medications (prescription and non-prescription), educate plan members on their use, and check for appropriateness, safety, and effectiveness Benefits of Medication Reviews - Prevent and Manage Adverse Drug Reactions - Ensure that Medicines are Taken According to Directions - Improve Drug Treatment Effectiveness and Value - Improve Pharmacist-Patient Physician Communication - Identify Additional Clinical Services that May Benefit the Patient For all your self-care needs, visit the Medicure plus pharmacy today. http://medicurepluspharmacy.com/ P.S.

More about Flu: Influenza is a viral infection that attacks your respiratory system your nose, throat, and lungs. Influenza is commonly called flu. For most people, influenza resolves on its own. But sometimes, influenza and its complications can be deadly. Initially, the flu may seem like a common cold with a runny nose, sneezing, and sore throat. But colds usually develop slowly, whereas the flu tends to come on suddenly. Flu viruses travel through the air in droplets when someone with the infection coughs, sneezes or talks.
