Helping You Stay on Track with Your Medications
Managing multiple medications can be confusing. At VIPcare, we have a dedicated team that works closely with you and your provider to make sure you’re taking the right medications at the right time.
Personalized Prescription Support You Can Trust
Our care team gets to know you and your health needs. From reviewing your prescriptions to checking for possible interactions, we help keep your medications safe and effective.
Medication Review and Safety
The majority of seniors regularly take one or more prescription drugs. Without proper guidance, this can lead to medication errors, drug interactions, or unnecessary prescriptions.
A medication review is a detailed check of all the medications you take—including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements. This ensures medication safety.
Our pharmacy team reviews your medications and works with your provider to make sure each one is necessary, effective, and safe for your current health needs.
Education and Understanding
Knowing what your medications do and how to take them is key to staying healthy. Knowing these details helps to prevent mistakes, reduce side effects, and improve effectiveness.
Medication education for patients involves explaining each medication’s purpose, how and when to take it, and any potential side effects.
We make sure you understand each prescription—what it’s for, how it works, and how to take it correctly. We provide clear instructions and provide support material when needed.
Monitoring and Ongoing Support
Medication needs can change over time. Tracking how medications are working and managing side effects helps to keep patients healthy and out of the hospital.
Medication monitoring includes tracking how well medications are working, identifying side effects, and making changes as health needs change.
Our pharmacy team routinely monitors your medications – even between visits. They use your ongoing medical history to spot interactions and suggest any needed changes.
