As regulated healthcare professionals, they are part of your healthcare team and are expected to meet practice standards, College policies, and a Code of Ethics. Before your medication reaches you, the following steps are required to ensure it is safe, appropriate, and accurate: ✅Your prescription is reviewed to ensure the medication and dosage are appropriate for your needs. ✅Your prescription is checked for potential interactions with your allergies, other medications, or medical conditions. ✅Your prescription information is entered into the pharmacy system. ✅Your medication is counted and packaged. ✅The information on your prescription label is reviewed for accuracy. ✅Your medication and quantity are double-checked before being dispensed. ✅You can receive counselling from a pharmacist about how to take your medication properly and any potential side effects.
