A very important part of our work at Bayshore pharmacies is to ensure patients are informed and educated about the safety and efficacy of the drug and their health condition as well as managing any of the side effects.  Specialty drugs prescribed by specialists are used to manage complex conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis and may require special storage, handling and administration. Often these drugs are infused or injected with the help of a nurse or require lab testing and coordination and many other health services.  Our support includes managing patient assistance programs to help coordinate the complexity of funding, lab testing, nursing and pharmacy services required for the management of these complex drugs.

Our services also include Bayshore Express Pharmacy to dispense medication and diabetes supplies across the country and is led by pharmacists with expertise in diabetes and geriatric care. We’ve recently introduced the CarePack Medication Management system to provide strip packaging of medications customized to the individual needs of our homecare patients who have difficulty managing their medications.

Our pharmacy also services five health regions in Ontario to provide sterile product compounding, infusion equipment and medical supplies to patients in the home, often within a tight four-hour time frame. In August of 2021, Bayshore Compounding Solutions (BCS), a division of Bayshore Specialty Rx, received approval from the Ontario College of Pharmacists for its new Drug Preparation Premises (DPP). DPP facilities must meet rigorous quality standards in order to provide bulk compounded medications that are intended to support hospitals and pharmacies. Bayshore Compounding Solutions is one of only a handful of such facilities in Canada.
