What is a Home Medicine Review?

 Each year, over 230,000 Australians end up in the hospital from taking medicines incorrectly or in a combination that turns toxic.

A home medication review can help you avoid this by improving collaboration between you, your Doctor and the pharmacist resulting in better patient care and medication management.

Your Doctor can arrange for an accredited pharmacist to visit you at your home to review your medications and ensure there are no complications mixing multiple medications and brands.

Do any of the following apply to you or a loved one?
