SERVICES

Pharmacy

Our patients have access to a pharmacy here at Marimn Health Medical Center, right under the same roof as their medical and dental providers. That means you can see your doctor and then walk across the lobby to pick up your prescription instead of driving clear across town.

The pharmacy at Marimn Health is fully staffed with pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy externs. Our pharmacists review the complete medical record or prescription order before they dispense medications. We monitor all prescriptions to prevent or detect undesired drug reactions. Because our pharmacists and medical providers are under the same roof, concerns or questions on treatment are discussed with the provider to ensure our patients receive the very best care.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Anticoagulation Management

If you are at risk for a stroke or blood clots or if you’ve already had blood clots, your doctor may prescribe you a blood thinner or anticoagulant to help prevent or slow blood clotting. Anticoagulants can help prevent harmful blood clots from developing, but they must be carefully managed to keep patients safe while they are taking these types of medicines.

Marimn Health Medical Center’s pharmacy has an anticoagulation clinic to help patients that are using the blood thinning medication Warfarin (also known as Coumadin^©).

Our pharmacists work closely with our patients and providers to monitor the health of patients on anti-clotting drugs. We work one-on-one with our patients to educate patients on the challenges associated with anticoagulants and monitor blood levels during the first few weeks on the medication, adjusting dosage when necessary.

We will run a blood test, utilizing a small poke to the finger, to see how the Warfarin therapy is working.  Results of the test will be used to determine whether we should change the patient’s Warfarin dosage. This also gives the patient an opportunity to discuss his/her other medications, herbal supplement use, and diet with a Marimn Health pharmacist. These other medications, supplements, and diet can have a direct impact on how well or how poorly Warfarin works to prevent blood clots.

The anticoagulation clinic and services are open to everyone that needs to monitor their Warfarin therapy.  If you currently use Warfarin, please do not hesitate to contact the Marimn Health Medical Center Pharmacy at 208.686.5081 to find out how to access this service.

SAFE MEDICATION DISPOSAL

The Best Ways to Manage Your Unused Medications 

It’s important to safely discard all medications you no longer take – including expired meds. The best and preferred way to dispose of expired, unwanted, or unused medications is through a Drug Take-Back Program.

Take-Back Options

• Drug Take-Back Days is an event the DEA and local law enforcement periodically host in communities nationwide.
• Year-round drop off locations can be found at: https://safe.pharmacy/drug-disposal/results/?distance=10&address=83815
• If either of these options do not work for you, ask your local pharmacy if they have Drug Take-Back envelopes. These prepaid, trackable envelopes can also be purchased online at: www.americanrxgroup.com/

What if none of these options work for me?
When necessary, certain medications may be flushed down the toilet. Only flush medications that are on the FDA-approved Flush List.

Medications on the “Flush List” are those:

• Sought after for misuse and/or drug abuse.
• That can result in death from one dose if inappropriately taken.

How to dispose medications at home that are NOT on the Flush List:

1. Remove medications from original containers.
2. Mix the medications with unappealing substance such as: dirt, cat litter, coffee grounds. Do NOT crush tablets or capsules.
3. Place mixture in a container such as a sealed plastic bag.
4. Scratch out all personal information on the Rx label of empty bottle/packaging.
5. Throw away in trash or recycling.
