Your local pharmacy: the medication dispenser

Pick up your medications 24/7

Your life doesn’t always align with business hours. Maybe you work during the day, care for someone else, or simply prefer to pick up your medications quickly whenever it’s convenient for you. A medication dispenser can be a practical solution. At our pharmacy, you can pick up your medications even outside of business hours using the medication dispenser. At the same time, quality pharmaceutical care remains important: your local pharmacy knows your situation and can provide personalized assistance with your medication use. (Pharmacy)

What we do for you as a pharmacy

First, we make sure your medications are safely prepared for you. This means we check the prescription, verify the correct strength and quantity, and ensure your medications are compatible with any other medications you’re taking. Then we’ll let you know when your order is ready and how to pick it up from the medication dispenser. We also assess whether a medication is suitable for dispensing via the machine or if a personal consultation at the counter is more appropriate. Do you have questions about usage, side effects, or a change in your medication? We’re here to help. (Dutch Government)

Collaboration with your primary care physician and other healthcare providers

The advantage of your local pharmacy is its close collaboration with your primary care physician and other healthcare providers. We know you, your doctor knows you, and you know us. This ensures clear communication and efficiency. You usually request a refill prescription from your family doctor’s office. Your doctor approves it and sends the prescription to the pharmacy. We then ensure that your medications are safely prepared. If there are any changes to your medication, we can quickly consult with your doctor. This provides a sense of trust and peace of mind.

The medication dispenser is especially useful for repeat prescriptions for medications you’re already familiar with, such as those for blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, lung conditions, or diabetes. If you’re taking a medication for the first time, you’ll usually receive a prescription for up to 15 days. This is to see if the medication works well and is right for you. When starting a new medication, changing the dosage, or needing additional guidance, picking it up at the front desk is often more convenient. Please also contact us if you experience side effects, don’t trust the medication, or if there have been any changes in your health. (Rijksoverheid)

Arrange things online too

We’re your trusted neighborhood pharmacy, with the added benefit that you can also handle many things online with us. This includes refills, asking a question via the app or a message, getting a notification when your medications are ready, and picking them up from the medication dispenser. And what if picking up isn’t possible due to physical limitations, for example? Then we’ll work with you to find another solution, such as delivery, if that suits your situation. This way, you combine local trust with online convenience.
