Managing multiple prescriptions gets harder with age. Our pharmacists work with you, your doctors, and your family to make sure every medication is right, on time, and accounted for.
Adults over 65 take an average of five or more prescription medications daily. That complexity creates real risk: the CDC estimates that adverse drug events cause over 177,000 emergency department visits among older Americans each year. Many of these are preventable.
Missed doses, accidental double-doses, harmful drug interactions, and medications that are no longer appropriate are all common problems. They lead to hospitalizations, slower recovery, and a lower quality of life. The good news is that most of these issues can be caught and corrected with proper pharmacist involvement.
At Eltingville Pharmacy, we believe medication management is not just about filling prescriptions. It is about making sure the right person takes the right medication, in the right dose, at the right time, every single day.
We sort and seal your medications into clearly labeled daily packs organized by time of day. No more juggling bottles or wondering if you already took your morning pills. Each pack is prepared and checked by our pharmacists.
Our pharmacists sit down with you to review every medication you take, including over-the-counter products and supplements. We look for interactions, side effects, and opportunities to simplify your regimen. This service is free and available anytime.
If getting to the pharmacy is difficult, we come to you. Our free delivery service covers all of Staten Island on a regular schedule. You will never run out of an important medication because you could not make the trip.
We work with family members, home health aides, and other caregivers to keep everyone on the same page. Authorized contacts can call with questions, pick up prescriptions, and receive updates about refills and medication changes.
Blister packaging (also called compliance packaging) organizes all of your medications into clearly labeled, sealed compartments sorted by day and time. Instead of juggling multiple pill bottles, you simply pop out the correct pack at the right time. Studies show blister packaging can improve medication adherence by up to 30% in older adults.
Yes. We offer free prescription delivery throughout Staten Island. For homebound seniors or those with mobility challenges, this means you never have to worry about getting to the pharmacy. We deliver on a reliable schedule so you always have your medications when you need them.
We recommend a comprehensive medication review at least once a year, or whenever there is a change in your health, a new prescription, or a hospital discharge. Our pharmacists check for drug interactions, duplicate therapies, and medications that may no longer be necessary. There is no charge for this service.
Absolutely. With the patient's permission, we work directly with family members, home health aides, and other caregivers. We can add authorized contacts to the account, provide duplicate medication schedules, and coordinate refill timing so caregivers always know what is happening with their loved one's prescriptions.
Bring all of your current medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements. Also bring a list of any allergies and the contact information for your doctors. If you have recent lab work or a hospital discharge summary, those are helpful too. We will go through everything together and create a clear medication plan.
