Compounding
In every field of medicine, there are some patients who don't respond to
traditional methods of treatment. Sometimes they need medicines that
are not available commercially. Sometimes they simply need a different
method of ingesting a medication. With a written prescription a
compounding pharmacist can and often does address many patient dosing
problems by customizing a medication to meet a specific need. To find
out more about compounding click here. |

Webster Packing
Webster Packing is an accurate and efficient way to package and dispense
medication. Webster Packs are designed to make it easy for patients to
take their medication by eliminating the confusion when multiple drugs
are prescribed. The multi-dose Webster pack is an individually-prepared
blister pack which is filled by the pharmacy. It is divided into 28
separate blister wells in four rows of seven, being the doses to be
taken at breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime on each day of the week.
Into each well is loaded the medication prescribed for that time. The
patient can quickly identify which dose is next, remove the tablets by
pushing them through the foil on the reverse side of the blister pack,
and take them without worrying about quantities or mistakes.
This simple procedure has the potential to improve compliance
significantly. The clear blister packs also act as a visual reminder of
which medication is to be taken next and when. Using a special computer
program and printer, the pharmacist notes on the pack the names and
quantities of the tablets sealed in the blister wells. To find out more
about Webster Packing, visit their website at http://www.webstercare.com.au. |

Home Medication Reviews
McKenzies Chemist employs an accredited pharmacist to conduct home
medication reviews. A Home Medicines Review (HMR) is a consumer-focused
collaborative service used to assist the quality use of medicines. The
HMR involves a GP consultation to generate the referral, a pharmacist
interview with the patient (preferably in the patient's home), a
clinical assessment by the pharmacist and a written report back to the
GP. An HMR will provide GPs with comprehensive, up-to-date information
about the medicines, complementary products, over-the-counter medicines,
devices and other prescriptions being used by their patient.
Patients will receive assistance with medications, aids and devices to
improve compliance, and early detection and management of
medicine-related problems. To find out more about HMRs please call one
any one of our pharmacists on 9271 6870. |
