Your Rexall Pharmacist - There for you!
At Rexall we know getting to see your family doctor
may not be an easy task, which makes your pharmacist
the most accessible member of your family's health
care team. Your Rexall pharmacist does more than fill
prescriptions; a pharmacists' scope of practice allows
them to do so much more.
What You See
For every prescription, your Rexall Pharmacist will:
• Accurately prepare your prescription and keep a
record of it in the dispensary computer system
• Provide an opportunity for you to sit down
one-on-one to help identify and resolve common
medication -related issues so you can get the most
benefit from your medication.
• Supply written information when appropriate or
requested.
• Review your prescription with you, explaining what
it's for, how and when to take it, what side effects
to watch for, how to know if your medication is
working, and what actions to take if it is not.
• Follow up with you to assess your medication's
effectiveness
• Conduct training for special devices such as
blood glucose and blood pressure monitors
• Co-ordinate special clinic days focusing on
Diabetes, Heart Health, Cholesterol, and more
"%/v\i\°
• Train you to administer your injection medications.
• Recommend and administer appropriate
vaccinations.
What You Don't See
Your Rexall Pharmacist also:
• Reviews your prescription for appropriateness and
contacts the prescribing doctor with any questions
or concerns
• Collaborates with your doctor on changes in
medication, dose, or length of therapy if required
• Maintains a computerized medication profile and
checks new medications for interactions with food
and other drugs, using state-of-the-art technology
to free up time to spend with you
• Checks to see if new prescriptions may affect any
existing medical conditions you have - if you are
seeing more than one physician, each one may not
have your complete medical history
• Discusses alternatives with your physician if the
• medication prescribed is not covered by your drug
benefit plan
• Provides other services as needed to ensure you
get the maximum benefit from your medications
• Continuously learns about new medications, new
uses for currently available medications, and other
health information to ensure you receive the most
accurate, up-to-date information.
Did You Know?
Your Rexall Pharmacist can:
• Package your medications to make them easier to
take regularly and at the correct times each day
• Provide private consultations to review your
medications for effectiveness, side effects, and
possible interactions
• Make special preparations or compounds of various
medications
• Supply you with a program to help you stop
smoking
• Conduct private training on how to use various
health monitoring or treatment devices
• Supply information about herbal preparations and
their uses
• Make presentations on various health-related topics
to schools or community groups.

conditions.

by law, provide injections and vaccinations
But that's not all...
