Medication Use Process

The Medication Use Process involves several key steps to ensure safe and effective use of medications. It begins with prescribing, where a healthcare provider determines the right medication for a patient. Next is dispensing, where a pharmacist prepares the medication. Then, the patient takes the medication as directed, known as administration. Monitoring is the next step, where healthcare providers check for effectiveness and side effects. Finally, there’s the ongoing evaluation of the treatment, ensuring it continues to meet the patient's needs. This process helps maintain overall health and prevents potential medication-related problems.
