This service is free with a valid Nova Scotia Health Card at your local Community Pharmacy Primary Care Clinic. Click Here to book an appointment
120+ pharmacies throughout Nova Scotia are currently authorized to provide the Community Pharmacist-led Anticoagulation Management Service.
The service is now publicly funded for those people who take the prescription medication warfarin and have a valid Nova Scotia health card.
The service includes:
- A finger prick blood test at the pharmacy, called the International Normalized Ratio (INR), to monitor the blood thinning effect of warfarin. (Patients no longer need to have a blodd draw at a lab).
- A review with the pharmacist to assess factors that may be affecting your test results.
- Pharmacist recommendations that could include continuing with your usual warfarin dose, or the pharmacist prescribing a change to your warfarin dose. They will also provide other recommendations to assist with managing your medications and other factors that can affect your INR results where applicable.
- A calendar print-out with your dosing instructions.
- Results will also be sent to your family physician or nurse practitioner.
How does a patient enroll?
Patients may request enrollment from a participating pharmacy location. Physicians and Nurses can also refer patients to the program using the form below.
