Spring,United States - October 6, 2022 /NewsNetwork/ —

Budget Pharmacy’s new upgraded “Brown Bag Review” service tackles a growing health problem in a rapidly aging population by identifying medicine errors and misunderstandings that would otherwise be overlooked. This is because medical records are out of date, the patient is taking medicine incorrectly, or forgets to mention supplements/herbal remedies which may harmfully interact with prescribed medicines.

Budget Pharmacy staff can now allocate more of their time to counseling residents about their existing medicines and supplements – a key factor underpinning the risk-free provision of ongoing prescription and medication refill services and ensuring residents’ continued well being.

The process of medication reconciliation is often conducted using medical records. Physicians and Pharmacists necessarily rely on the accuracy and currency of such records but if these are outdated or missing information errors and misunderstandings creep in and health risks increase.

Vitamins and supplements are drugs capable of harmfully interacting with prescribed medications. Patients often do not realize this and have a false sense of security because they are sold over the counter.

Medical records based reconciliation cannot check if the patient is taking medication correctly – a major issue with elderly patients. In addition, nonface-to-face reviews are likely to miss opportunities to reduce the levels of medication taken.

The new upgraded Budget Pharmacy service tackles these issues head on and guarantees time for regular face to face patient Brown Bag Medicine Reviews. As 1 in 7 Americans aged 71+ have some sort of dementia related issue, ensuring their prescription regimes are up to date and correct is key.

The problem will likely exacerbate going forward. The number of Americans aged 65+ is forecast to double in 20 years reaching 80 million in 2040. Of those, adults 85 and older, the group most often needing help, will nearly quadruple by 2040.

Budget Pharmacy’s patients visiting for regular reviews will feel every aspect of their visit and brown bag consultation is worthwhile. It is not about selling medications and supplements. It is about taking time with each patient to ensure their ongoing health and well being.

Budget Pharmacy is an independent community pharmacy. Its pharmacists and staff are trained and dedicated to giving patients exceptional service and providing competitive prices. Their mantra is “ongoing regular brown bag reviews can significantly protect your health”.

One satisfied customer said, “Budget Pharmacy always gives me great deals on my medications and beats the prices of other pharmacies such as Walgreens and CVS.”

Budget Pharmacy has served customers all over Texas for the last decade with a dedicated commitment to community health in Spring, Radford, Klein, and surrounding areas. They are staffed by a team of qualified medical professionals who have dedicated their professional lives to keeping their customers happy and healthy.
