Clinical Services:

Our pharmacists are licensed to renew your prescriptions for current ongoing therapy to help provide uninterrupted treatment. We assess symptoms of minor conditions, such as coughs, colds, eye infections, allergies and can offer treatment through non-prescriptive medications, over the counter medications, and prescription medications. We can otherwise refer you to the most appropriate treatment location.

We also offer a wide range of services that can help you and your family maintain good health and avoid emergency situations, including:

Help with over-the-counter medications
Information on how to properly store and take your drugs
Medication review to see if all the medications you are taking are necessary and that the dosages are appropriate
Give you advice on non-prescriptions and natural health products
Monitor and help manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, COPD or high blood pressure
Design weight loss and smoking cessation programs

Assessing

Assessing your health and drug therapy needs by considering your health history, current health status, current drug therapy, diagnostic and laboratory test results, allergies, lifestyle habits, and other relevant information. We make evidence-informed decisions when performing authorized activities including dispensing, prescribing, and administering drugs, vaccines, or other alternatives (including by injection) to treat or prevent disease and to maintain your health.

Working

Working with you to develop your health plan, which may include drug and non-drug alternatives. As a key member of your health team we consider your health status, health goals, and personal preferences when assessing your overall needs. We consult, collaborate with, and advise other health and community service providers to provide care that is both integrated and coordinated.

Educating

Educating and supporting you to use your treatments properly. Together, you and our pharmacists monitor the response to your health plan. Our pharmacists may adjust your drug treatments to support you in reaching your goals and to minimize the impact of undesired effects.

Coaching

Coaching you about healthy living (e.g. nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation, substance misuse and abuse, and sexual health). We offer screening programs to identify personal health risks and immunization services to protect you from disease.

Directing

When your team does not include a pharmacy technician, your pharmacist takes responsibility for all roles that a pharmacy technician may provide.

After review and assessment of your concerns, our pharmacist will contact your physician with recommendations and/or determine where follow up is needed. We encourage all of our patients to have a medication review annually.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moved to Calgary in November 2022 and needed somebody to administer allergy shots. This pharmacy gave me the allergy shots without me ever filling a prescription there. Always very kind and makes time for me (even on a busy day) as I come weekly for the allergy shots. Would recommend this pharmacy to anyone!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A great pharmacy service with professional people working there. I merely send an image of our prescription and the medications are usually dropped to our doors on the same day free of charge. In a few circumstances, I sent the prescription after their delivery person left the store and they called him to return and deliver our prescription the same day. It has always been above and beyond our expectation. Thank you for your great service.
