After processing your prescription in our computer system (medication check) we take the correct medicines.

All the information of your prescription is put through the computer.

We check several things e.g. if your medicine "fits" with your other ones and if the dosage is correct.

If this will be a new medicine for you we supply you with clear to the point information about its use and effects.

Our medicines are stored in large cupboards. The fast movers are close to the counters.

At least twice daily our stock is replenished by one of our wholesalers.

The expiring date of the medicines in stock are controlled by our computer system.

Some of the medicines are not sold in convenient end user packets. We fill them out for you in small containers.

In the pharmacy a part of our staff is preparing the prescriptions coming in by fax or electronic mail. Often these medicines will be delivered or collected later by our clients.

Meerburg Apotheek uses effective checking devices to provide you the correct medicine.

For instance we use the bar code on the boxes and our labels. Picking the wrong medicine must be impossible.

If you come with your prescription we check the bar code in front of you at the counter, if you collect it later or if we deliver, the checking has taken place already.

After checking and evaluating we hand the medicines over to you.

Often we give you extra information, in case you are given a new medicine or if something has changed. With new medicines we often go over some extra written information with you.

Some medicines need extra support. An example is the use of special inhaled medicines for people with lung diseases . We practice them with you in the counselling room.
