The BC Renal provincial Pharmacy Services Committee manages four formularies of medications essential in the care and treatment of people with kidney disease. The committee also oversees BC Renal’s partnerships with 30+ community pharmacies across the province and facilitates medication best practices.
Through the pharmacy formularies – one for patients receiving dialysis treatment, two for non-dialysis patients, and one for patients with glomerulonephritis – BC leads the country in renal medication and nutritional supplement coverage.
“We encompass the whole concept of medication use management – resulting in up-to-date, evidence-based formularies that also encourage, through policy and guidelines, optimal use of the medications funded by BC Renal,” says Dan Martinusen, Chair, BC Renal Pharmacy Services Committee.
