Our services

At Farmàcia dels Oms we have a wide variety of services with which you can improve and control your health. We put all our years of experience into use to suit your needs.

Pharmaceutical care

Pharmaceutical care is based on the active participation of the pharmacist to improve the patient’s quality of life through professional pharmaceutical care services. This participation involves cooperation with the doctor and other health professionals to achieve better results.

Professional pharmaceutical care services include all those health activities provided by the community pharmacy by a pharmacist, in order to prevent diseases and improve the health of the population by optimizing the use of medicines and their treatments:

  • Dispensation
  • Pharmaceutical indication
  • Pharmacotherapeutic monitoring
  • Medication reconciliation
  • Therapeutic adherence

All of this helps to reduce medication-related problems, improve compliance, and, as a result, the rational use of medications.

The importance of this service is reflected in the epidemiological data. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 50% of patients with chronic illnesses do not adequately comply with prescribed treatment, resulting in visits to emergency services that are often preventable.

Custom dosing system (CDS)

The Personalized Dosing System (SPD) is a weekly medication organization service, always developed under the supervision of a pharmacist. The goal is to help the patient follow their treatment correctly and effectively, dosing the medication separately for days and doses.

Who is this service for?

  • Patients with chronic diseases
  • Polymedicated patients
  • Patients with complex medication patterns
  • Older people living alone or with reduced autonomy
  • Patients living in residences
  • Caregivers and / or relatives of polymedicated patients

What are its advantages?

  • It facilitates compliance with treatment and better control of the disease
  • Reduces medication intake errors
  • Avoid handling and conservation problems
  • Avoid confusion and unintentional poisoning
  • Help relatives and caregivers

How does it work?

The medication is prepared weekly in a single-use blister pack, with alveoli where the drugs are stored. Each blister is labeled with patient data, pharmacy data, and dosage.

Master formulation

We have a laboratory specializing in the individual production of medicines, which follows the rules of correct preparation and quality control of master formulas and office preparations.

The master formula is the option chosen by the doctor for cases in which the industrialized medicine does not adapt correctly to the patient’s needs (dose adjustment, change of excipients due to allergies or intolerances …). In this case, the doctor prescribes the preparation that is made in the pharmacy.

Cholesterol and sugar analysis

High levels of sugar and lipids (cholesterol and / or triglycerides) in the blood are risk factors that often go unnoticed. Although we feel good and in good health, it is advisable to have regular check-ups to prevent the onset of the disease or to avoid complications once diagnosed.

At the pharmacy we have the COBAS 10 system, which allows you to perform an analysis of cholesterol and glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA1C) quickly, accurately and easily. A small sample of blood is enough, which our medical staff obtains with a hair puncture.

To measure the lipid profile it is necessary to be fasting (at least 8 h). The results that can be obtained with this test are:

  • TOTAL CHOLESTEROL
  • LDL (“bad cholesterol”): transports cholesterol to the blood vessels, which accumulates in the walls of the arteries and creates deposits that hinder the normal circulation of blood. It is important, therefore, that the levels are not high.
  • HDL (“good cholesterol”): its function is to transport cholesterol from different parts of the body to the liver, so having high levels is beneficial.
  • TRIGLYCERIDES: It is a more complex type of fat, which comes mainly from food intake. It is also important to keep it within normal, as high levels are associated with an increased cardiovascular risk.

With the determination of blood sugar you can get:

  • GLYCOSYLATED HEMOGLOBIN (HBA1C): It is not necessary to be fasting. It allows you to obtain blood glucose levels for the last 2-3 months, which makes it easier to carry out a long-term glycemic control, used to detect people at risk of developing diabetes, and to monitor those already diagnosed.
  • BASAL GLUCEMIA / GLUCEMIA <2 h INGESTION: Determines blood glucose levels at the time of analysis. It is done with a glucometer.

Blood pressure monitoring

Blood pressure is a variable parameter, it does not remain constant throughout the day or life. In addition, you may experience occasional variations with emotional stimuli, or from physical and mental exertion.

A person is considered to be hypertensive when, persistently, he maintains blood pressure figures above 140/90 mmHg. In case there is another associated chronic disease, the limit values may vary (a person with diabetes has limit values of 130/80 mmHg).

In order to obtain more real results, it is necessary to perform three separate measurements and leave an interval of 2 minutes between each. It is important that the patient rests for at least 5 minutes before the first and, if possible, before taking the medication and on an empty stomach.

In order to help our clients keep their blood pressure under control, the pharmacy monitors the evolution of the measures taken on a regular basis and, in the event of detecting a problem, refers the patient to the doctor.

Nutritional advice

Food is the basis of a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, at the pharmacy we offer consulting with a specialist who adjusts and develops a personalized nutritional plan according to the needs of each person.

Through this service we want to help achieve the proposed goals or solve health problems, such as:

  • Digestive problems (flatulence, poor digestion, constipation …)
  • Chronic diseases (hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes …)
  • Preparation of sports tests
  • Weight loss
  • Generalized fatigue or tiredness

For a diet to be healthy it must be:

  • Complete and balanced: the nutrients must be distributed proportionally during the day between carbohydrates (55-60%), fats (25-30%) and proteins (12-15%).
  • Adequate: The amount of food should be enough to keep the weight normal and avoid high-calorie diets.
  • Adapted to age, sex, physical activity, work and health.
  • Varied and as adjusted as possible to the person’s tastes, to ensure greater compliance.

SIGRE point

From the pharmacy, in addition to ensuring the health of people, we also care for the environment, reducing the damage that packaging and medicines can cause through the proper treatment of the generated waste.

We have a SIGRE POINT where you can launch those medicines that are no longer needed or that have expired.

Dermocosmetics

The skin is the largest organ in our body. It is of relevant importance for its protective function, which acts as a barrier against external aggressions (chemical, mechanical, microorganisms or ultraviolet radiation).

Throughout life, you need to take care of your skin regularly and constantly. Especially if you suffer from a dermatological disorder (alopecia, dermatitis, atopy, psoriasis, acne…), which can make you more sensitive to external agents.

Our team is ready to select the most suitable assets for each skin type and to improve and / or correct what concerns you in each case. We have a wide variety of products, so our customers can find what they need.

We are always ready to resolve any questions and offer advice.

Children’s corner

In our pharmacy we have an area dedicated exclusively to the youngest members of the household, where you can find a wide variety of products from different laboratories, in order to facilitate the selection of the one that best suits each baby during his growth.

We also offer the possibility of purchasing a discount with our CHILDREN’S CARD. You will get a stamp for each purchase of children’s products over 10€. Once you have completed all 10 boxes on the card, you can enjoy the discount.

Gift baskets

At the pharmacy we make personalized baskets adapted to the needs of the baby and the mother.

Phytotherapy

Phytotherapy studies the use of plants and their derivatives for therapeutic purposes, whether to prevent, alleviate or cure a pathological condition. It offers us many benefits and effective and natural remedies more safely and with fewer side effects.

It is important to note that, although it is defined as a non-aggressive therapeutic alternative, it cannot be considered completely harmless. It can sometimes interact with other medicines and modify their effects or enhance their toxicity. Therefore, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional before starting such treatment.

The pharmacy team, with the knowledge and experience gained, offers advice and resolves any doubts regarding this treatment.

Orthopedics

We have a wide variety of orthopedic products to improve the quality of life and facilitate the daily lives of patients and their families.
