The pharmacist can support
Device technique, supplies, medicine-use understanding, adherence barriers, storage, travel preparation and communication with the healthcare team.
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.
