Improper medication management

Improper medication management refers to mistakes or issues related to how medications are prescribed, taken, or monitored. This can include taking the wrong dosage, mixing medications that have harmful interactions, not following prescribed instructions, or failing to communicate significant health changes to a healthcare provider. Such mismanagement can lead to ineffective treatment, worsening health conditions, or dangerous side effects. Effective medication management requires careful coordination between patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to ensure that medications are used safely and effectively to achieve the best health outcomes.
