Great news for patients taking Coumadin (Warfarin), who must monitor their INR's weekly or monthly. 

You can now learn to do self-monitoring at the Guardian/White Cross Pharmacy on Elgin St.  They sell the monitor and test strips and show you how to monitor your own INR, or you can do the tests in-store and the Pharmacist will monitor it with you, on the spot!  This will save you a lot of time and inconvenience waiting for results and following up with the doctors office. Their phone number is on the Health Directory under Pharmacies. In the alternate, if your doctor is no longer available for INR monitoring, any doctor can refer you to Dr. Pravin Shukle at 2948 Baseline Rd. He is a specialist and provides this service.

The new HPV vaccine is now available in all of our medical centers. HPV causes genital warts, affecting thousands of men and women in Ottawa.  Some strains lead to Cervical Cancer in women.  Fact: 3 times as many women in Canada die each year of cervical cancer due to HPV than die from HIV. This new vaccine is a medical breakthrough and can prevent 75% of the cervical cancer causing virus strains. HPV is sexually transmitted and very common. Condoms do not protect well against HPV because of their location. The vaccine is available for sexually active, or pre-sexually active woman over the age of 9. (If you are a male or female and have HPV and haven't yet sought treatment, please see your doctor or visit one of our doctors right away for proper diagnosis and treatment. Avoid sexual activity until treated.) For more information go to: http://www.gardasil.com
