Filling prescriptions is a mainstay of pharmacies. What is a prescription?
It’s a medication order from a doctor or prescriber to a pharmacy, to supply particular drugs in certain doses to a patient, for a duration of time. Some drugs, such as chronic medication like hypertension or diabetes, may require a refill after the prescribed dose is completed. Others may be required for just a stipulated period of time. As a pharmacy, we’re duly licensed by Pharmacy Council, Ghana, to deliver this service to you.

Wondering if you can get your blood pressure checked at our pharmacy? You most definitely can!
When your blood pressure is high and uncontrolled, it puts a strain on your heart and blood vessels. This leads to a condition known as hypertension, which can lead to further complications like heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney disease, or issues with your nerves. It’s therefore important to keep a close eye on that blood pressure. At Medicines Mart, we help you do that conveniently through our in-pharmacy blood pressure monitoring service, with referral to a medical facility when necessary.
Do you know the good news? It’s possible to lower your blood pressure. Our pharmacists can help you with lifestyle changes and steps to help you be compliant with your anti-hypertensive medication (that’s if you already have hypertension).
It is important that people with diabetes have good control over their blood sugar. This helps reduce complications and improves their quality of life.
Our pharmacy team will work together with you, to help you achieve good control over your blood glucose levels, through drug interventions like medication review management and compliance aid, non-drug interventions like lifestyle modifications, as well as blood glucose testing and recording with a blood glucose monitor.
We provide malaria testing services, using rapid malaria test kits.
Malaria is a public health issue in Ghana and many other African countries. Governments continue to implement policies and invest resources to reduce its prevalence. One of the ways is through the use of rapid diagnostic testing or simply put, RDTs.
This is the process of lawfully giving out medicine and drugs to a client. It involves several processes, including properly interpreting the wishes of the prescriber, selecting the appropriate medication, packaging, and labeling it for use by the patient.
It forms a great portion of the responsibility of pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and medicine counter assistants, as trained to work in a pharmacy. It is one of the critical elements that ensure the rational use of medicines.
Our pharmacy team is poised to counsel patients, as one of our major roles as a pharmacy. Patients may need counseling for a variety of reasons: advice on over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription drugs; guidance for health challenges; advice on how to make healthy lifestyle changes, and so on. This is aimed at ensuring that our clients get the best health outcomes from the products and services they assess from us.
