A “consultant” pharmacist is a medication therapy management expert who provides advice on the use of medications by patients, whether they live in the community or in long-term care facilities.

​

Consultant pharmacists are defined by their common commitment to enhance the quality of care for people through the appropriate use of medication and promotion of healthy living.

​

How can a consultant pharmacist help? 

​

A consultant pharmacist can:

• Identify medication-related problems that can cause, aggravate, or contribute to common geriatric problems

• Make it easier for people to take their medication properly by labeling, packaging, and organizing prescription drugs better

• Understand the role of the caregiver, the financial challenges that patients can face, and the importance of choosing appropriate care and medications

• Advocate healthy living and disease prevention for everyone

​

If you or someone you care for needs assistance with their medications, a consultant pharmacist may be the answer! Our care pharmacists at MedzDirect pharmacy go well beyond reviewing medications. They have studied and acquired extensive knowledge and are here to help you.
