About Medication Management

Medication Management is a comprehensive, patient-centered service provided by Internal Medicine specialists to optimize the safety and effectiveness of prescription and non-prescription drug therapies. This ongoing process involves a thorough review of all medications, assessment of their appropriateness for the patient's specific health conditions, identification of potential drug interactions or side effects, and adjustment of dosages as needed. The goal is to ensure that each medication regimen aligns with the latest clinical guidelines, improves health outcomes, enhances quality of life, and prevents medication-related problems. It is a critical component of chronic disease management and preventive care, fostering a collaborative partnership between the physician and patient.
