A medication expert
A pharmacist is a health professional specialized in medication. To receive this certification, he or she must have completed a four-year pharmacy degree. Your pharmacist is there to help you get the benefits from your medications while ensuring your safety and comfort.
Invaluable cooperation with your doctor
For the well-being of their patients, pharmacists work with doctors who write prescriptions. Your medication file is just as important as your medical records!
Your pharmacist communicates regularly with doctors, because they are in the best position to assess the interaction and effectiveness of prescribed drugs. This is why it is important to use the same pharmacy.
A multidisciplinary team… working for you
If you take medications, it is important to know that your pharmacist can be very helpful. Indeed, pharmacists provide a wide range of services and moitoring for drug therapies, particularly for chronic diseases.
Types of services and monitoring can vary from one pharmacy to another. Nonetheless, the fact remains that monitoring is carried out in collaboration with your physician, and may include other health professionals.
Did you know that…
Each day, your pharmacist must juggle more than 10,000 medications, 4,000 vitamins, and natural products, 11,000 possible side effects and 6,000 contraindications! For the best possible monitoring, always see the same pharmacist: they have your file on hand... and your health at heart!
