Thornhill Pharmacy

We are a full service pharmacy and are mainly focusing on providing superb pharmaceutical consulting service in addition to and separate from dispensing services. These consulting services are offered at a personal level and in a format that are easy to understand and easy to follow. It is a fact that our healthcare system is restrained by the amount of cash available to be instilled into the syst

em. Year-by-year, we see the gap in this dollar amount to widen. Consequently, we see this disparity influencing the decisions made by the government to cut back on health care services at different levels, anywhere from hospital to community services, anywhere from medications to laboratory testing covered, and the costs are being passed on to the public. All in all, HEALTH is an asset that we individually need to cherish, to nourish, to learn about how to maintain it and to sustain it for as longest a time as possible. Many regard their homes, their cars and /or other belongings as their assets. But they ignore the single most important investment of all, and that is the health of oneself. We see our consulting services as a means to that end that is your precious health. Our services are divided into:

• DISPENSING SERVICES

• CONSULTING SERVICES
(PREVENTATIVE & INFORMATIVE & CONFIDENTIAL)

Our Consulting Services are developed with YOU in mind and for YOU. Consulting services are important because there is a disconnection between diagnosis (and receiving medications) and actually getting better. There are close to 9,000,000 Canadians living with diabetes which is a huge health burden, economically for the government and financially for the families of those living with diabetes. The world of medication therapies and their specific knowledge are growing at a fast pace and it will be almost impossible for one profession to diagnose, to prescribe and to monitor the progress of each patient. Pharmacists have a unique expertise in diseases; their applicable medication therapies and the management of diseases. Our consulting services are also important because it can detect mismatches between an individual’s medications early and to prevent them from harming the individual. It is not a surprise that many take vitamins and herbal remedies with or without the knowledge of their healthcare professionals. Many do not realize that herbs do possess a chemical that provides the clinical benefit. But many herbs can and will interact with medications and that may harm individuals. We possess the specific knowledge in the area of herbs and their interactions with medications, and we can help YOU. Our Consulting services are also aimed to detect individuals at risk of different medical conditions early and to help them get the right treatment. It is also our goal that these individuals are managed effectively and they achieve the therapeutic outcome expected.
