Why Medication Management Could Be the Health Boost You Didn’t Know You Needed

Managing multiple prescriptions, keeping track of dosages, and avoiding side effects can feel overwhelming—especially for seniors, individuals with chronic illnesses, or caregivers juggling responsibilities. That’s where professional Medication Management services come in, offering a simple yet powerful way to improve health outcomes and reduce risks.

At Gilmore Pharmacy, we take this service seriously. Our pharmacists are trained to go beyond dispensing—helping you stay on track, minimize interactions, and make the most of your medication regimen.

What Is Medication Management and Who Needs It?

Medication Management is a structured approach to reviewing, organizing, and monitoring a patient’s medication plan. It’s especially beneficial for:

• Seniors taking multiple medications

• Individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure

• Those recovering from hospital stays

• Patients prone to forgetting doses or experiencing side effects

If you or a loved one fall into any of these categories, it’s time to consider a pharmacist-led plan tailored to your unique needs.

The Hidden Risks of Poor Medication Adherence

Did you know that non-adherence to medications contributes to up to 25% of hospitalizations in seniors? Skipping doses, doubling up, or taking medications at the wrong time can lead to serious health consequences.

That’s why our Medication Management services in Burnaby are designed to catch problems before they escalate. From personalized medication reviews to adherence support, we make sure your prescriptions are working for you—not against you.

What to Expect from a Medication Review at Gilmore Pharmacy

When you visit us for a Medication Management consultation, we take a comprehensive look at:

• All your prescription and over-the-counter medications

• Possible drug interactions or duplicate therapies

• Your medical history and chronic conditions

• Lifestyle factors that may affect medication effectiveness

Based on this review, our pharmacists will adjust, organize, and explain your regimen in a way that’s easy to understand and follow.

Tools That Make Managing Medication Easier

We know life gets busy, and sticking to a medication schedule isn’t always easy. That’s why we offer a range of tools to help, including:

• Blister Packs for organized dosing

• Daily Medication Delivery to your doorstep

• Witnessed Ingestion Services for higher-risk or addiction-related treatments

• Ongoing Follow-Up to ensure everything stays on track

Whether you’re managing your own care or helping a loved one, these resources provide peace of mind and better outcomes.

Medication Management for Seniors and Chronic Conditions

If you’re supporting an aging parent or managing chronic illnesses like heart disease, COPD, or arthritis, our pharmacists become part of your care team. Through our integrated Home Care for Elderly services, we can coordinate medication with daily check-ins, caregiver support, and fall prevention planning.

You can also combine this with Chronic Disease Management for long-term conditions requiring detailed prescription oversight.
