The Right Medicine Is Only Part of the Picture
Medicines need to be prescribed, dispensed, taken and monitored safely. Problems can occur at different points in the medication-use process, which is why patients and healthcare professionals both have an important role in medication safety.
Asterix Pharmacy can help you make better sense of your medicines and health devices.

Storage & Handling
We can explain appropriate storage and handling requirements for your medicines and devices.
Bring Your Questions
A medication review is an opportunity to ask questions rather than simply receive another prescription.
You may want to ask:
- What is each medicine for?
- When should I take it?
- What should I do if I miss a dose?
- Are there important precautions?
- How should I use this device?
- When should I seek further advice?
Medication Safety Matters
WHO’s Medication Without Harm initiative highlights the importance of safer medication practices and encourages patients and healthcare professionals to know, check and ask about medicines.
Understand your medicines. Use them correctly. Ask when you’re unsure.
