The hospital Pharmacy provides convenient access to prescribed medicines and selected essential healthcare products for patients receiving care at Divine Hospital. Dispensing is based on a valid prescription and includes checking the medicine name, strength, quantity and relevant instructions. Patients should share information about known allergies, current medicines and previous adverse reactions so that concerns can be referred appropriately.
Pharmacy support helps OPD, emergency, surgical and admitted patients obtain medicines without unnecessary travel during treatment. When receiving a prescription, patients should confirm how and when each medicine must be taken, whether it should be used with food and how long treatment should continue. Labels and packaging should be kept intact, and medicines should be stored away from heat, moisture and children.
Patients should not share prescription medicines, reuse an old prescription for a new illness or stop important long-term treatment without medical advice. Any unexpected reaction or difficulty using a medicine should be reported promptly to the treating doctor. Availability can vary by product, so the team may guide patients when a particular prescribed item requires an appropriate alternative or external arrangement.
