Medication Therapy Management
Overwhelmed by the number of drugs you take every day?
As modern medicine evolves many of us are taking more and more medication to improve our health and deal with ailments. However medication doesn’t always work the way it’s supposed to and in some cases it can cause adverse side effects if not taken correctly.
Have you ever asked yourself:
- Why am I taking this medication?
- Are there any side effects?
- Am I taking drugs in the right order and at the right time of day?
- Am I taking the right amount?
- Are my drugs interacting with each other?
- Are my drugs really making me feel better?
If you’ve asked yourself one or more of these questions, and if you take a number of different drugs and you’re worried about any of the above, talk to us: we can help.
What is Medication Therapy Management?
Medication Therapy Management is a service provided by Wake Forest Drug. One of our experienced pharmacists will meet with you one-on-one to review all your medication and ensure that your current combination is both safe and effective. This can help prevent potentially life-threatening drug interactions and we can also recommend the best pharmaceutical approach to disease management.
After reviewing the status of your health and your medication we will make sure that:
- You are taking only the medication you need.
- You are taking the correct amount of medicine at the right time
- Your medications are not interacting with one another
- Any vitamins, supplements or over-the-counter drugs you are taking are safe and effective
- You are not spending more than you need to for your medication
As a patient, knowledge of your medicine is critical to optimize the healing benefits and to avoid unnecessary adverse effects.
