discuss any subsequent side effects

answer any questions about your medications

How often should I review my medications with a pharmacist?

For good practice we recommend that a review is done at least once every 12 months at any
Pharmacy 777. The review will typically last around 20 minutes and there us no charge.

tell a health professional how you feel about your treatment
have your condition(s) and medicines explained

have your questions answered

What can I find out?

If you are taking the best medicines for your problems
about side effects your might expect from your medicines
what other treatments are available
how best to take your medicines

How should I prepare for my appointment?

It is important to bring to your appointment all your medications including any herbal remedies and vitamins.
These are commonly in the form of tablets, liquids, inhalers, creams and ointments.
Please bring any medications that you have also taken but have now stopped.

You may find that you get more out of your review if you prepare in advance any questions you
would like to ask about your medications.

For example, How do they work? What side-effects do they cause? Do I still need to take them?
Are there any new medicines or services that might help me?
Is there anything that can help me to remember to take my medications?

Note: To get the most out of you review you may find it helpful to bring along with you a person
such as family member, or someone who helps manage your medicinces however this is optional.
