Home Medication Reviews in Camden Haven
Understand Your Medication
If you’re on complex medication regime, or introducing newly prescribed, over-the-counter or complementary medicines, a home medication review may benefit you. At North Haven Pharmacy, we offer our customers an informative service to review your current medicines. Our clinical pharmacist will talk one-on-one with you to examine your medications and determine any medication-related concerns including:
- Side-effects
- Interactions between medications
- Too many medications
- Dosage
We’ll help you understand what your medication is treating, how to correctly take the medication, how to store them and suggest alternative medical solutions that may be helpful. Our pharmacist will write a report to send to your GP after we complete the review.

Should I register for a home medication review?
Home medication reviews can be helpful for anyone taking medication or looking to change their medicine regime. Our accredited pharmacist will visit your Camden Haven home to evaluate all of your current medications to identify any potential health concerns caused by your medicines. Home medication reviews should be considered if you are:
- Taking more than 5 medicines a day
- Struggle to keep track of your medicine
- Require close monitoring because of your medication
- Prescribed medication that can have serious interactions with other medications
- Feel unwell after taking medication
- Feel no change in your condition on medication
- Recently been in hospital
- Updated your medication plan
If you are managing your own medication, or you are helping someone who is, home medication reviews can be a helpful, educational and informative tool. To learn more about your medications, our North Haven Pharmacy is here to help you.
Risks of taking multiple medications
If you or your loved one is taking 5 or more medicines a day, home medication reviews help reduce the risk of negative medication interactions and side effects. Our pharmacist will evaluate your current medications and discuss any changes you may wish to make in your medicine regime.
Older people are at higher risk of taking multiple medications and can be more prone to dizziness, light headedness and fainting. Taking different medications for different health conditions can interact in unexpected ways. If you’re taking anti-inflammatory medication to relieve pain, this may worsen high blood pressure and kidney function.
Home medication reviews are designed to help identify potential health risks and suggest any adjustments we believe could benefit you. At North Haven Pharmacy, our friendly team is dedicated to helping our customers get the most from their medications and promote health and wellbeing.
