Comprehensive Medication Review

A Comprehensive Medication Review is a detailed check-up of all the medications a person is taking. A healthcare professional, often a pharmacist, reviews each medication’s purpose, how it’s taken, possible side effects, and interactions with other drugs. The goal is to ensure the medications are working effectively, safely, and as intended. This process helps identify any issues, such as unnecessary medications or potential risks, and makes recommendations to improve the person’s medication plan. It’s a helpful way to optimize health, especially for those with multiple or complex treatments.
