The MedAssess Pharmaceutical Care Program For your health & peace of mind.

LEAVE IT TO THE DRUG THERAPY SPECIALISTS

Research shows that fully half of all medications are used incorrectly, creating unexpected problems and dangerous side effects. Among all health care professionals, pharmacists are the drug therapy specialists. They have the training, experience, and primary focus to make sure your medications are doing what they are supposed to do.

Your health care team probably includes a physician, an eye doctor, dentist and perhaps a medical specialist or two. But the increasing number of drugs used in the practice of medicine has intensified the need for one or more key member of the team: the professional pharmacist, delivering professional pharmaceutical care.

We are pleased to introduce the Med-Assess(medication assessment) Pharmaceutical Care program, a revolutionary consulting service that supplies this missing piece in the health care continuum.

THE MED-ASSESS PROGRAM GIVES YOU:

Peace of mind: Our Med-Assess pharmacist consults with you and your family to review your medical history and current medications, both prescription and over-the-counter. With your complete health care picture in mind, our MedAssess pharmacist serves as your advocate, consulting with prescribers to suggest modifications in your medications when necessary.

Convenience: Working with a Med-Assess pharmacist at Heights Terrace Pharmacy who fully understands your medications may eliminate unnecessary medical expenses. And you don't need an appointment to consult with your Med-Assess pharmacist. Personalized health information: Our Pharmaceutical Counselor provides a full report with useful information on your current medications, including an easy-to-use dosage schedule. As your medications change, our MedAssess pharmacist is always available to provide information and answer your questions.

IS THERE A FEE FOR THIS SERVICE?

The Med-Assess program was developed to fill this need by creating a professional partnership between pharmacists, patients and prescribers.
