Quebec Association of Pharmacist Owners 

Quebec Association of Pharmacist Owners 

The pandemic and the aging of the population have highlighted the challenges facing the healthcare system but have also shed light on the role of community pharmacists. Essential to helping patients and reducing pressure on the healthcare network, pharmacists are a valuable resource for Quebecers in the event of minor health problems. Their support is effective, diversified and accessible. Lupus patients can count on their pharmacist to help them manage their medications, symptoms and side effects. The pharmacist can help in a variety of ways, including :

– Providing information and advice on medications and health conditions

– Adjusting medication doses

– Teaching the use of injectable medications  

– Prescribing laboratory tests to monitor symptoms and side effects

– Vaccinating

– And much more…

Since 1970, the Association québécoise des pharmaciens propriétaires has been the professional association representing all pharmacists owners in Quebec. Today, the Association represents more than 2,000 pharmacists owning nearly 1,900 pharmacies in Quebec.
