Bring your medication questions to a one-on-one review

A medication review is an in-person appointment with a pharmacist to create or update a complete medication list, discuss how you take your medicines and identify questions or possible drug-therapy concerns.

Do not stop a medication or change a dose without direction from your prescriber or pharmacist. A medication review does not guarantee a medication change or a particular health outcome.

What to expect

How a medication review works

The pharmacist first confirms which consultation service applies and whether you meet the current PharmaCare criteria for a publicly funded medication review.

  1. Check the appointment type

    The pharmacy confirms the appropriate service, current availability and any coverage or fee before the appointment.

  2. Build a medication history

    You and the pharmacist identify prescription and non-prescription products you currently take.

  3. Discuss your medicines

    Ask how and when to take them and raise concerns about side effects, interactions, missed doses or recent changes.

  4. Document next steps

    The pharmacist provides the applicable take-home documents and explains any recommended follow-up.

B.C. PharmaCare

Who may qualify for a covered medication review

Under the current PharmaCare policy, the covered service is for a B.C. resident with a Personal Health Number who has a clinical need and meets the medication and frequency criteria.

  • At least five different qualifying medications have been entered in PharmaNet within the previous six months
  • The patient is not covered under PharmaCare Plan B
  • The current service-frequency limit has not been exceeded
  • The review is one-on-one and in person, in a suitable area that respects privacy

The pharmacist confirms eligibility. If the covered criteria do not apply, ask about other consultation options and any fee before booking.
