Dispensing Kiosk
As of May 4/09, we became the second test site for a fully automated Dispensing Kiosk. (The first test site is at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.)

The Dispensing Kiosk is designed and manufactured by PharmaTrust - a Canadian company. It uses video-teleconferencing technology to allow the pharmacist to remotely read the script, counsel the patient and accurately dispense the medication (with proper label and medication information sheet). For this initial trial period we'll also have a PharmaTrust pharmacist onsite with the machine overseeing its operation.

The Kiosk is open for patient use throughout the opening hours of the clinic - including all hours of the Walk-In Clinic (including evening, early morning and weekends). Rest assured our regular dispensary will still be in operation.

Viraguard
In the fall of 2008 we became the only Ontario trial site for a new consumer product - Viraguard that was approved here in Canada - although its sister products have been used in US hospitals and ambulances for years. This is a consumer packaged disinfectant (hand and surface wipes and sprays) with impressive clinical results. We have brought it into our Dispensary as part of a consumer test program; it was most timely for the flu season. The next time you're at our clinic, make sure you check it out.

Our qualified pharmacists dispense prescription medications to Albany Medical Clinic patients.

Services include:

• Monitoring and advising patients of potential drug interaction.
• Advice on how and when to take your medication to maximize its effect and minimize side effects.
• Review of potential adverse effects or side effects of medication.
• Our computer system will track previous medications presented and the pharmacists will consult with the physician when changes are made.
• Compounding of prescriptions, lotions, creams and ointments.

Our pharmacists will be more than happy to advise you on the many OTC (over the counter) products, as well as our selection of vitamins, supplements and diabetic supplies.

All major drug benefit/insurance plans are honoured.

Payment may be made with Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Debit card or cash.

Take advantage of our dispensary and save time. If you are having tests done after seeing your physician, drop your prescriptions off at the dispensary before your tests and they will be ready for you to pick up after you have completed your tests.
