Organize your medications
The Village Pharmacy can help make it easier for you to take your medications at the right time, every day.
Personalized pill packs make it easier for you to take the right meds at the right time
Many people living with HIV and other chronic conditions are on multiple meds. And, let's face it, it’s hard to keep track of taking meds on time every day, especially when some are once a day, others are twice a day, some say with food, others are on an empty stomach, and it goes on!! You can put an end to all the guesswork around your medications with customized pill packs.
Here’s how personalized pill packs work :
The Village Pharmacy will sort all the medications you have been prescribed into pill packs, made just for you.
Your medications are grouped together by time of day, morning, mid-day, evening, and bedtime.
Take the medication in the compartment labeled with the appropriate day and time. You'll know immediately if you've missed a dose.
The pill packs are super-convenient. Each section is perforated so you can tear off the sections you need for when you're travelling or on the go.
Personalized pill packs are a free, value-added service at The Village Pharmacy. They are a perfect solution for anyone on multiple medications, including HIV.
Being regular with taking your medication can reduce drug-related problems, resistance, and will ensure the best health outcomes. Talk to us about getting started today.
We can synchronize your meds for pickup on the same day each month.
If you're picking up your medications on different days each month or every three months, talk to us about synchronizing your meds so that you pick up all your prescriptions on one day. It'll save you time, and new research shows that patients who coordinate their medications are less likely to run out, or miss doses.
Medication review / MedsCheck
A medication review can help address any drug-related problems you may be experiencing, such as side-effects, timing of doses, numbers of pills and more. The pharmacist will sit down with you to go through your drug history and talk about the issues you're experiencing. You'll walk away with a plan on how to better manage your medications, including recommendations for medication alternatives that you can review with your doctor. Book a MedsCheck now.
Medication organizers
We can set you up with a variety of types of pill organizers to help you keep track of taking your medications and don’t miss any doses. Staying consistent with your medications will ensure you have the best possible health outcomes. Whether you’re taking just 1 pill every day, or multiple medications at different times during the day, or travelling, we have a solution for you.
