compounding

The Medicine Shoppe in West Kelowna can customize your medication.

Compounding is the science of customizing medication for taste and texture. Whether you simply can’t swallow pills and need a medication re-formatted into liquid form, or you need a medication adjusted for taste, allergies, etc., we can create it for you.

MEDICATION REVIEWS

A medication review is a private consultation with one of our professional pharmacists, to gather all pertinent information about your medication. The purpose of a medication review (MR) is to promote safe and effective medication use, and improve health outcomes for our customers.

The process is a structured one:

Medication Review – Standard (MR-S)
We meet with you to review your medication and prepare a Best Possible Medication History (BPMH). The purpose is to improve your understanding of your medication, including what medication you’re currently taking, why you’re taking it, and how best to take them. The BPMH can also be shared with other health care professionals, such as the your family physician or specialist.

Medication Review – Pharmacist Consultation (MR-PC)
When we identify a medication management issue (MMI) during an MR-S, in collaboration with you, and, if applicable, the prescriber(s), we work to resolve the issue. This includes developing and implementing a care plan.

Medication Review – Follow-Up (MR-F)
We’ll meet with you if you’ve already received a complete MR-S or MR-PC and follow-up to:

review a subsequent medication change,
address difficulties with understanding and/or implementing the care plan developed during an MR-PC, or
evaluate the care plan developed to resolve a medication management issue.

medical compression

Compression therapy is used for a variety of conditions and situations. Anti-Embolism stockings for bed-ridden patients and Medical Compression Stockings for mobile patients to improve blood flow, serve similar purposes.

We’re pleased to offer the leading brands in Medical Compression therapy.

For additional information on medical compression, and to see if it can help you, pop into the store on Main Street in West Kelowna or call us at 250-707-2952.

Accu-pak

Is your list of medication getting difficult to manage?

We have the solution – Accu-Pak is a blishter pack that organizes your meds into one easy-to-use package.

Managing a daily or weekly regimen of medication can be tricky. It’s easy to forget when to take which medication or whether or not you even took your last dose.

The Accu-Pak system eliminates that worry and makes it easy!

OSTOMY SUPPLIES

We specialize in ostomy care products and draw from expert resources in the field to provide excellence in ostomy advice, products and services.

An ostomy pouching system is a prosthetic medical device that provides a means for the collection of waste from a surgically diverted biological system and the creation of a stoma. Pouching systems are most commonly associated with colostomies, ileostomies, and urostomies.

If you are an ostomate or have questions about ostomy products, talk to one of our pharmacists today.

First Aid supplies

Whether it’s for sports, the workplace, at home or just to have out on the boat, a well stocked first aid kit is the ounce of preparation you need in the event of a medical emergency.

Medicine Shoppe Westside has your first aid supplies. We can help you build the right first aid kit to suit your needs!
