At Heights Family Pharmacy we carefully examine each medication that’s being prescribed, looking at all possible interactions that it might have with other medications, explaining directions for the drug’s use, conditions the drug may be used for, possible side effects and contraindications to its use.
The pharmacist will also explain how and when to take your medication. Most medications have the potential to cause minor side effects and during a drug consultation the pharmacist will point these out. The pharmacist will also explain if there is a potential drug, vitamin, or food interaction with the new medication and may be able to recommend how to avoid such interactions by dosing the new medication differently.
Pharmacists are the key link between patients and doctors.
Together, we build a successful team who manages your disease and make sure you stay on the right track to getting better. We monitor your condition and make sure there are no red flags. As soon as we spot any, we would notify you and your doctor to make sure medicine you are on is doing it’s job.
