If you’re taking multiple prescription medications, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—especially if you’re unsure how they work together or whether you’re taking them correctly. That’s where MedsChecks and Diabetes MedsChecks come in.
At Liverpool Plaza Discount Chemist, our qualified pharmacists offer these services to help you use your medicines safely, effectively, and with confidence.
What is a MedsCheck?
A MedsCheck is a free, in-pharmacy service designed for people who take multiple prescription medicines and want to better understand their treatment. During a private consultation, a pharmacist will:
- Review all your prescription, over-the-counter, and complementary medicines
- Check for potential side effects, interactions, or duplication
- Provide clear advice on how and when to take each medicine
- Suggest ways to improve your medicine routine for better health outcomes
What is a Diabetes MedsCheck?
A Diabetes MedsCheck is specifically for patients with Type 2 diabetes who are taking medicines to manage their condition. In addition to the standard MedsCheck review, your pharmacist will:

- Review your use of insulin (if applicable) and blood glucose testing devices
- Offer tips to improve your overall diabetes management and prevent complications
