Drug Use Review (DUR)

Drug Use Review (DUR) is a process used by healthcare professionals and pharmacists to evaluate a patient’s medication history. Its goal is to ensure medications are used safely and effectively, checking for issues like harmful drug interactions, duplicate therapies, or unnecessary medications. By reviewing prescriptions, DUR helps prevent problems such as adverse effects, misuse, and medication errors, ultimately supporting personalized and optimal treatment. This proactive approach promotes safe medication practices and improves overall health outcomes for individuals.
