medication review

A medication review is an evaluation of a person's medications to ensure they are appropriate, safe, and effective. In this process, a healthcare professional examines all the drugs a patient is taking, including prescriptions, over-the-counter medicines, and supplements. The goal is to identify any potential problems, such as drug interactions or unnecessary medications, and to ensure that the treatment aligns with the patient's health needs. This review helps improve health outcomes, enhances medication adherence, and reduces the risk of adverse effects, ultimately supporting better overall health management.
