MedsCheck Medication Reviews
When you take several medications, it's easy to lose track of what each one does, or to wonder whether they work well together. A MedsCheck is a one-on-one appointment where our pharmacist reviews everything you take: prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and supplements.
You'll leave with an up-to-date list of your medications and the peace of mind that comes from having an expert look at the full picture.
What's included
- A complete review of every medication you take
- Checks for interactions, duplications and side effects
- An up-to-date personal medication record to take home
- Unhurried time to ask questions
Who's eligible
- Ontario residents taking three or more prescription medications for a chronic condition can have a MedsCheck once a year.
- People living with diabetes may be eligible for MedsCheck for Diabetes.
- Reviews are provided at no cost to eligible patients with a valid Ontario health card.
