Arthritis affects millions of Canadians, many of whom rely on multiple medications to manage their condition. This month is a reminder of the important role pharmacists play in supporting patients with arthritis — from ensuring safe medication use to helping manage pain and inflammation.
In Ontario, patients taking three or more prescriptions are eligible for a free MedsCheck review covered by OHIP. This one-on-one consultation allows pharmacists to review all medications, discuss potential side effects or interactions, and make sure each treatment is working as effectively as possible. For arthritis patients, this can mean better pain control, fewer complications, and improved quality of life.
