Medication Management

Medication management is the process of safely and effectively overseeing the use of prescribed and over-the-counter medications to ensure they are taken correctly. This can be handled by a patient, a caregiver, or a healthcare provider and is particularly important for people with chronic conditions, those taking multiple drugs, and older adults. Ensuring proper medication management will maximize effective treatment, reduce the risk of adverse side effects and interactions and ensure medication taken for the intended purpose.
