Prescribed medication administration

Medical Injections

Before scheduling, we review the prescribed medicine, dose, route, storage and any monitoring requirements to confirm whether it can be administered at the pharmacy.

What to know

Contact us before bringing the medication

The pharmacy needs to identify the medicine, prescribed route, dose, timing, storage history and any administration or monitoring requirements. This review helps determine whether we can safely provide the service.

What to expect at the appointment

Before administration, the regulated health professional confirms the prescription, medication, relevant health information and consent. After-care and observation depend on the prescribed medicine.

Some injections require a different setting

The medicine, route, equipment or monitoring needs may mean the injection cannot be provided at the pharmacy. If so, our team will tell you where to ask next.

Before you contact us

Have these details ready.

  • The medicine name, prescription, dose, route and prescriber information
  • Your Alberta Health Care number and insurance information
  • Current medications, allergies, relevant health history and previous doses
