Medication Adherence & Polypharmacy
A structured pharmacist-led approach to medication lists, routines, practical barriers and referral.
Start with one accurate list
Include prescription medicines, non-prescription products, supplements, dosage, timing, reason for use and prescriber.
Common practical problems
- Complex schedules and changing instructions
- Duplicate active substances or therapeutic classes
- Confusion between brand and generic names
- Swallowing, handling, storage or device difficulties
- Adverse effects, cost or beliefs affecting use
Important boundary
Do not stop, start or change prescribed treatment without appropriate medical review. The pharmacist helps organise information, identify concerns and facilitate communication.
Before you speak with the pharmacist
Bring an up-to-date list of medicines and supplements, the device and instructions if relevant, and the specific questions you want to discuss. Describe any difficulty following the agreed plan. Keep personal health records for direct professional consultation rather than sending them through an initial email.
Bring your questions. Let’s make the next step clear.
Talk to Sikalias Pharmacy in Peristeri about medicines, daily routines or device use. Call to discuss your need and the available support.
