Keeping a close watch on the health of a loved one with the Uniprix health journal

As a caregiver, you’ll be happy to know that there’s now a valuable tool to help you collect and centralize the essential health information about the person under your care. It’s called the Uniprix health journal, a unique booklet available for only $3 from your Uniprix group affiliated pharmacist.

It features: 

• Health status logs to track diabetes, hypertension, anticoagulant therapy and cholesterol;
• A health diary to record comments about a person’s general state of health;
• Two pockets, one inside each cover, where you can keep relevant documents that help monitor your loved one’s health.

You’ll also find useful information about:

• The role of the pharmacist
• The Drug Caution Code
• The Canada Food Guide

You can use it to record: 

• Ailments, illnesses and allergies that trouble your friend or loved one;
• The contact information of their health professionals;
• The over-the-counter medications, natural products and vitamins he is taking;
• His health history (hospitalizations, operations, immunization, etc.).

The list of the patient’s prescription medications is available from your pharmacist upon request. The health professionals involved in providing preventative care and treatment can refer to it and add relevant information.

You are sure to find the Uniprix health journal a great ally in the overall management of your health and that of your loved ones. To learn more about it or to obtain your copy, see your Uniprix group affiliated pharmacist.
