We can also refer you to a credentialled pharmacist who specialises in Home Medicine Reviews (HMRs) who can visit you at home and go through all your current medications including prescription medicines, over the counter medicines and any other supplements. They will assess the safety, effectiveness and optimise the combination of medications that you are taking and come up with a medication plan and referral letter to take to your general practitioner. This can help reduce potential medication problems, reduce the number of medications that you take and address any gaps in your current medication regimen.
