FAQs
What's a Home Medication Review, and why would we recommend it?
A Home Medication Review is a thorough assessment of all the medications you’re currently taking, conducted by a qualified pharmacist in the comfort of your own home. We recommend it as it helps us identify any potential issues like drug interactions, duplications, or medications that might not be working effectively for you anymore. It’s a great way to ensure you’re taking exactly what you need and nothing more.
How long does a Home Medication Review typically take?
Most reviews take between 45 minutes and an hour. We’ll sit down with you, go through your complete medication history, check your understanding of how to take each medication, and discuss any concerns you might have. We’re not rushing—we take the time needed to make certain everything’s clear and you feel confident about your medications.
Do we need a referral from our doctor to arrange a Home Medication Review?
Yes, you’ll typically need a referral from your GP to access this service. Your doctor can refer you directly to us here at Arkaba Medical Centre, and we’ll take it from there. If you’re unsure whether you need one, just give us a call and we’ll let you know what you need to do.
What should we have ready before the pharmacist arrives?
We’d like you to gather all your current medications—including prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs, and any supplements or vitamins you’re taking. It’s also helpful if you can have a list of any allergies or adverse reactions you’ve experienced. The more information you can provide, the more detailed and useful the review will be for you.
What happens after our Home Medication Review is complete?
We’ll prepare a detailed report that we’ll share with you and send to your GP. This report includes our recommendations for any changes to your medications, explanations of why we’re suggesting those changes, and practical advice on how to take your medications safely. You and your doctor can then decide together which recommendations to implement.
