Our Family Health Team pharmacist and physicians work together to provide a convenient, one-stop monitoring program. The pharmacist uses a finger prick blood test that provides immediate results. From there, they can then adjust your medication as required in minutes rather than days, and in a single appointment. The pharmacist also records all patient visits in the electronic medical record that's shared with your physician, so that your doctor always knows that status of your treatment.

INR (Anticoagulation)

If you have been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation ('irregular heartbeat'), have a clotting disorder, or have had a valve replacement and are on a drug (Warfarin), monitoring your international normalized ratio (INR) needs to be monitored regularly to ensure that your medication dosage is safe and effective.

Deprescribing Services

The Family Health Team pharmacist also offers deprescribing services to review medication one-on-one with patients to ensure all medications are still appropriate, taken correctly, and they look for opportunities to reduce medications if appropriate in collaboration with your physician.
