Medication management is a comprehensive approach to ensuring safe, effective, and appropriate use of medications. It involves monitoring, reviewing, and adjusting medications to optimize therapeutic outcomes while minimizing potential risks or adverse effects.
Proper medication management is crucial for individuals taking multiple medications. Medication management ensures the right dosages, timing, and combinations of prescribed medications to maximize their therapeutic benefits while minimizing potential side effects. It helps prevent harmful drug interactions, reduces the risk of over or under-dosing, and ensures each medication is serving its intended purpose. This process requires close collaboration between healthcare providers, patients, and caregivers. Maintaining an optimal medication regimen is crucial for managing symptoms and promoting overall well-being.
