Hi, my Name is Gan Pou Wee and I am a Pharmacist by profession. I am also a Board Certified Pharmacotherapy Specialist (BCPS) awarded by the Board Of Pharmacy Specialties in US.

I have five years of experience in Clinical Pharmacy where I work with doctors and specialists in wards taking care of patient medications and counseling. My main job is to monitor and fine tune patients' medications and prevent adverse problems if possible. Of the five years in clinical pharmacy, I spent two years taking care of the Coronary Care Unit and High Dependency Unit, where patients are quite critical.

I would like to bring a new kind of service to our fellow Malaysians. This concept is already in place in Australia and US. I want to provide Pharmacotherapy management to patients here on consultation basis. That is to say, patients will bring their medical records, x rays, ECG, blood reports, medications, etc (if they are available) and I will do a full review for the patient, answer patient questions on their medications, explain what and why they are taking medications and make sure the best possible treatment is given to the patient with minimal side effects. We call it a benefit vs risk assessment. I will communicate with the doctor if necessary to optimize patients' drugs.

A typical consultation may take about 20-30mins, it may be longer if the case is complicated. Follow ups may also be given if necessary. Most simple cases may not require my attention, but I still welcome them. However, complicated cases with many medications are preferred as these patients are the ones whom mostly need this sort of service. Heart cases are most welcome as it is my forte.

For now, I will provide this service for free because I would like to test the reception to this service. The only thing I would require of the patient is to fill up a questionnaire for me, because I just want to know the feasability to set up such a service, whether I can survive on providing such service, how much patients are willing to pay, and whether its worth my investment in a proper clinic. Also, if the patient feels that my service is valuable, please spread the news here and to your friends.

Please contact me here via PM to arrange for a consultation and I don't have a proper clinic, so we may have to meet up somewhere. If you are a lady and don't feel comfortable seeing me alone (because I may do physical examinations if neccesary), please feel free to bring a friend or family because I won't be able to provide a chaperone.

Edit: please dont think I will try to sell supplements or directs sales. In fact I try to ask most of my patients to stop supplements because there's every little evidence to support their use, and possible interactions with drugs that they are using.
