A comprehensive insight to medication management can help
avoid serious repercussions that may potentially arise due to improper
medication regimen of patients, especially those who are taking large number of
medicines (polypharmacy) in order to address chronic diseases and illness. Aspects
of medication management focuses on assuring whether the medications are
appropriately used, that is, whether the patient is following the proper
medication regimen regardless of whether he or she is taking prescription
medicines or customized medication prepared by a compound pharmacy.
Both pharmacy and prescribed medicines need to be
consumed in specific doses and on proper specified time or serious
complications may arise. Medication
management New York City includes every minute aspect, for instance,
using of the devices that issue reminders to patients to marking the lid of
each medicine compartments to indicate when the doses are needed to be
consumed.
Keeping a track of all the medicines that are to be taken
is one of the crucial aspects in medication management where a vital part
involves creating a printed medication list, specifying the dosages and how
they are recommended to be used or consumed. These medication lists are then
placed in the patient study charts, or provided to the patients, in order for
them to track the drugs they are using and understand why these drugs are being
prescribed. Medication management
also involves checking and confirming that patients follow the right directions
of using the medicines that are being prescribed, whether a particular medicine
is to be taken with food or to be taken after or before the meal as well as the
common side effects (if any) of the medications.
