Medication Safety
Medicines often interact with other medicines or with food. If you have a certain condition, sometimes you may not be allowed to take certain medications. Pharmacists' core job is to watch over patient medication safety. We do this daily and in close consultation with your primary care physician. So it is important that both the pharmacy and the family doctor have a complete medication history. Therefore, choose one pharmacy. GP and pharmacy have daily consultations about this. Do you have questions about your medications? Then make an appointment.
Consultation with the general practitioner
Apothecaries and general practitioners, in addition to frequent daily contact, also have a so-called pharmacotherapeutic (FTO) consultation several times a year. During those consultations we talk about patients or new therapies. So when you order medications from us, you can assume that if consultation with the general practitioner is needed, we do it immediately. That's the advantage of the local pharmacy working with your family doctor.
Children
Many medications used by children require dosage adjustments. Again, it is important for family doctor and pharmacy to keep a complete record of the medications being taken. The pharmacy has a lot of knowledge to make sure your child can take the medications safely. After all, it is annoying enough that your child has to take medication.
Disabled elderly
Are you a caregiver or are you yourself now of advanced age and taking multiple medications? The pharmacy always checks with every order you make to make sure the medication is still safe to take. This is especially important with new medications or different strengths. Have you lost track of when to take what? Then we offer you the medicine roll. This ensures better therapy compliance and thus a better effect of your medication. Everything in consultation with your doctor. That is the advantage of the local pharmacy working with the local GP. Want to know more about the medicine roll? Then request it through our website.
Palliative care
In this difficult and sad phase of life, it is important that medicines are readily available. That care is secured 24/7. We work with home care and doctors to make sure that, whatever is needed, is available. That's the benefit of the local pharmacy working with your primary care physician.
An occasional drug
An occasional course of antibiotics or a painkiller? When you need it, you want it right away, even in the middle of the night. That's what we stand for. Even then, medication safety is important. That's the advantage of the local pharmacy.
