Brown Bag Medication Reviews

A Brown Bag Medication Review is a consultation where patients bring all their medications—prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements—for a healthcare professional to review. This process helps ensure that medications are appropriate, taken correctly, and free of harmful interactions. It can identify unnecessary medicines, clarify instructions, and improve overall safety and effectiveness. Typically, it involves discussing how and when medications are used, addressing concerns, and making any needed adjustments. This review promotes better medication management, enhances health outcomes, and empowers patients to understand their treatments better.
