Brown Bag Event: Castries Heath Center
Introduction
Brown Bag Day is an event organised by PASLInc during health fairs and special health observance where patients are encouraged to bring all their medications, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, supplements, and herbal products, from home to their pharmacist.
The pharmacist then reviews these medications, identifies any potential interactions or issues, ensures proper usage, and provides personalized counselling.
This process helps to optimize the patient's medication regimen, improve adherence, and enhance overall health outcomes.
After the review, the medications are returned to the patient in a brown bag, symbolizing the completion of the check-up.
