Medication does so many positive things, such as reducing unpleasant symptoms and helping us feel better when experiencing physical or mental health issues. However, things can get complicated when taking multiple medications. If you are feeling overwhelmed by all the different medications you are taking, we can help. The board-certified and licensed providers at Queens Consultation Center in Rego Park, NY, offer medication management services.
What is Medication Management?
Medication management is a service that medical and mental health professionals oversee all medications an individual is taking. This could include both prescription and over-the-counter medications, as well as any supplements or vitamins being taken.
One of the primary goals of medication management is ensuring patients are taking medication properly and not over or under-dosing, for example. Another objective of this service is ensuring an individual’s medications are fulfilling their expected, therapeutic outcomes. In other words, medication management focuses on making sure medications are working.
Another aspect of medication management is checking for possible drug interactions. Some medications are not compatible with one another so it is important to have someone with professional expertise regularly review the medication regimen. Finally, medication management involves checking for side effects of individual medications or supplements.
