STOP Smoking Program
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death, and our pharmacy is committed to helping people quit smoking. Our STOP Smoking Program is designed to increase your chances of quitting smoking and remain smoke free.
How does it work?
First, we will review your medical history, analyze your smoking patterns, and conduct a smoking assessment. After that, our pharmacist will have a one-on-one consultation with you to discuss your personalized quitting plan. Your plan may include advice on tapering your cigarette use, drug therapy, tips and tricks to mitigate cravings, and other personalized suggestions based on your medical history and lifestyle. Our pharmacist will also provide further consultation and follow up throughout your quitting process to ensure that you are on the right path and have the support that you need.
Why use the STOP Smoking Program?
Our pharmacist has undergone smoking cessation training and is able to prescribe medications that can help you quit smoking (including Champix, nicotine patch, nicotine gum, and others). Our pharmacist also follows up to ensure you get the support you need to keep you on the path to quitting.
If you have tried to quit multiple times, or if this is the first time you have thought of quitting, talk to our pharmacist today about our STOP Smoking Program and give yourself the best shot at quitting for good.
Blood Sugar Testing
Our pharmacy offers quick and convenient testing of your blood sugar, which involves taking a small sample of blood from your finger. These results will show you what your current blood sugar level is. Please note that your blood sugar level can be affected by things like recent food intake.
If we find abnormally low or high results, we will refer you to your physician and work closely with you to meet your health needs.
Cardiovascular Risk Assessment
(COMING SOON)
Our Cardiovascular Risk Assessment gives you an estimation on your 10-year risk of developing coronary heart disease (heart attack, angina), heart failure, or coronary artery disease. We also asses your risk for having a stroke.
Our assessment includes:
- Blood pressure examination and assessment
- Point of care cholesterol testing, using a Cardiochek analyzer (provides results in minutes!)
- Medical and lifestyle history consultation
If we find a higher than average risk result, we will forward the results to your physician and work closely with them to ensure your risk of having a cardiovascular event is as low as possible.
