Feeling helpless in managing your medications? Being worried about their potential side effects? We believe that these are situations commonly faced by patients who are on chronic medications as well as their caregivers.

In light of this, Health In Action is now providing professional medication management service. Through regular consultations and follow-ups, Pharmacists will assist patients and their caregivers to more holistically take charge of their medication therapy and own health. Hand in hand, our Pharmacists will walk with you and guide you through the medication issues encountered. With optimized regimen and enhanced knowledge, you can be the own master of your health too!
