Medication review clinic
A medication review is a chance to check that you are using your medicines in a way that helps them work best for you. It is an opportunity for you to discuss any problems you may have. It also gives you chance to ask questions or find out more about the medicines you take, including any you buy from the chemist and homeopathic or herbal remedies.
Some medicines should be monitored by regular blood tests. You may be asked to have a blood test if you have not had one recently.
You should bring all your medicines to your review. This includes tablets, medicines, creams, ointments, inhalers, eye drops and any you have bought.
You may also find it useful to bring a list of any questions you have. If there is somebody who helps you manage your medicines, such as a family member, you may find it helpful to bring them too.
Anyone who has repeat medication can arrange a medication review.
