📉 Why Are Patients Quitting GLP-1 Meds? Centrum Pharmacy Has Solutions!

The benefits of GLP-1 agonists (like Ozempic/Wegovy) are huge, but nearly 65% of patients quit within the first year! The main culprits? Nasty side effects (nausea/vomiting) and the high cost ($5,000-$6,000/year).

Your Centrum Pharmacist Delivers the "4 C's" to Keep You on Track:
💪 Side Effect Support: We provide Caring, immediate advice on managing nausea (e.g., slow titration, antiemetics) and GI issues—often preventing a rushed doctor's visit!
💰 Cost Reduction: We help you navigate complex benefits, coordinate insurance, and identify manufacturer assistance programs to reduce your out-of-pocket costs.
🤝 Comprehensive Care: We emphasize the Complete picture: medication success requires lifestyle changes (protein, exercise).

Don't let a temporary side effect or high cost stop your journey. We are your Connected Care partner, fighting for access and adherence!

Take Action to Protect Your Pharmacy Choice

Patient steering isn’t just inconvenient — it can compromise your health. Here’s how to fight back:

✅ Ask your insurer if your plan requires a PPN
✅ Fill prescriptions at the pharmacy you trust
✅ Work with your pharmacist to navigate coverage issues

Policymakers are listening, and advocacy is growing. At Centrum Pharmacy, we stay independent and patient-focused, helping you protect your right to choose.

Statement from Regional Medical Officers of Health on Sharp Rise in Serious Flu Cases in Children

In the first two weeks of December, three children between the ages of five and nine have died from influenza A-related complications in the Ottawa and Eastern Ontario Health Unit (EOHU) regions. This is a stark reminder that the flu can lead to severe illness and complications that require hospital care. With much of the respiratory illness season still ahead, we anticipate this will continue to be a challenging flu season.

In addition to getting vaccinated, taking additional preventive steps can help further protect others:

✅ Wash your hands often
✅ Avoid touching your face with unwashed hands
✅ Cover coughs and sneezes with your sleeve or a tissue
✅ Stay home if you are sick
✅ Avoid visiting people in long term care or retirement homes and hospitals of you are ill
✅ If you are sick, or at higher risk of severe illness, consider wearing a mask in crowded or indoor public spaces

Part 3: It’s Not Just About GLP-1s — It’s a Pattern

Insurers steering patients into corporate pharmacy networks isn’t a one-off. It’s part of a bigger pattern:
❌ Exclusive insurer–pharmacy deals
❌ Pressure disguised as “voluntary” programs
❌ Fragmented care and lost choice

The Canadian Pharmacists Association is calling for reform. Regulators are investigating. And patients everywhere are speaking out.

At Centrum Pharmacy, we stay independent to protect your choice and your care.

👉 Stay tuned for Part 4: what we can all do about it.

https://centrumpharmacy.com/ontarios-flu-vaccination-glitch/

Ontario’s flu vaccine system hit another snag last week.

A glitch in the Ministry of Health’s data system temporarily blocked pharmacies from ordering new flu doses. Although fixed, the error exposed deeper issues pharmacists have been battling all season: rigid ordering rules, delayed shipments, and constant denials for extra doses.

This matters because 57% of Canadians get their seasonal vaccines at pharmacies. When the system fails, fewer people get protected—and hospitalizations rise.

At Centrum Pharmacy, we continue to work around these system issues to make sure our patients receive Complete, Comprehensive, Caring, Connected Care. We’ll keep advocating for a fair, flexible distribution model that puts patients first.

Stay protected. If you still need your flu shot, we’re here to help.

💊 Pharmacare in Canada: Smart Growth, Not Collapse
The debate continues: should Canada adopt a single-payer pharmacare system, or focus on filling gaps in our already strong drug coverage network?

At Centrum Pharmacy, we believe the answer is clear—targeted pharmacare. Canada’s public–private system works well for most patients, but gaps remain. Let’s close those gaps without risking the sustainability of our healthcare system.

✅ Protect access to essential medicines
✅ Ensure no Canadian is left behind
✅ Keep costs sustainable for the future

We’re proud to advocate for policies that put patients first—because your health deserves Complete, Comprehensive, Caring, and Connected Care.

👉 What do you think—should Canada go single-payer, or strengthen what we already have?

Part 2: How Patient Steering Hurts GLP-1 Patients

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy require careful monitoring. But insurers are now restricting coverage to their own pharmacy networks (PPNs).
The result?
❌ Delays in access
❌ Miscommunication between doctors and pharmacies
❌ Missed side effect monitoring

At Centrum Pharmacy, we stay integrated with your family doctor to ensure safe, effective treatment. That’s the 4 C’s of Care in action.
👉 Follow along: Part 3 will show how this is part of a bigger pattern of insurer overreach.
