Medication Administration in South Shore, Montreal
Medication administration at Clinique Revive is for patients with prescribed injectable, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or other clinician-ordered medications that require a trained nurse to deliver — including hormone injections, allergy desensitization, iron injections, B12, naltrexone, certain biologics, and others. The nurse follows the prescribing clinician’s plan, documents the dose with lot number, and monitors for immediate reactions.
Patients use this service when self-administration is not appropriate or when an outside provider needs the dose given regularly without a hospital visit.
Prescribing clinician’s plan
The nurse follows the dose, route, and schedule set by your prescribing clinician — no off-label improvisation.
Documented and monitored
Dose, lot number, time, and response are documented; immediate reactions are monitored on-site.
Recurring scheduling
For ongoing series — weekly, monthly, every-eight-weeks — the clinic holds the recurring appointment slots.
When professional administration is the right call
This service is appropriate for medications a patient cannot or should not self-administer (deep intramuscular injections, complex allergy escalation, certain biologics requiring monitored doses), for patients on long-term injectable schedules, and for patients whose prescribing clinician requires a clinical setting for administration. It is not a substitute for the prescribing clinician’s clinical management — dose adjustments, side-effect review, and ongoing decisions remain with the prescriber.
The clinic also does not administer medications without a valid prescription or clinician’s order.
Preparation for a medication-administration visit
Bring the medication itself if you are providing it (some are dispensed by pharmacy and brought to the clinic). Confirm storage was correct — refrigerated medications must have been kept at the right temperature.
Bring the prescription or clinician’s order, your medication list, and any recent records relevant to the treatment. Eat normally before the appointment.
Mention any allergies or prior reactions.
What follows administration
After most injections, an observation period follows — particularly for allergy desensitization, where a 30-minute observation is standard. The nurse documents response, any local reactions, and confirms the next scheduled dose.
For ongoing series, the nurse helps coordinate recurring appointments. If a reaction occurs that needs attention, a Clinique Revive physician is available for same-visit assessment, and the prescribing clinician is informed promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the clinic prescribe injectable medications?
Some yes — for medications a Clinique Revive physician is authorized to prescribe. Many specialty injectables are prescribed by specialists, and the clinic administers them following the specialist’s plan.
What if I’m bringing my own medication?
Bring it in its original pharmacy container with the label. Confirm with the pharmacy how to transport it (some need cold packs).
Storage chain matters; the nurse verifies before administering.
Is allergy desensitization done here?
Yes for established protocols where an allergist has set the schedule. Initial allergist assessment and the desensitization plan come from a specialist; the clinic delivers the regular doses.
Will the nurse adjust the dose if I’m having side effects?
Dose decisions belong to the prescribing clinician. The nurse documents what you are experiencing and contacts the prescriber for guidance — they decide, you do not switch doses unilaterally at the visit.
