Medication Management Q & A
What’s involved in medication management?
Medication management takes a big-picture approach to your health. The team at Florida Medical Pain Management first evaluates your medical history and review all of the medications and supplements you’re taking. This includes over-the-counter and prescription medications.
The goal of this review is to ensure that you’re taking the right medications for your unique health needs. This is especially important if you’re seeing more than one physician. The Florida Medical Pain Management team evaluates your existing treatments and can make recommendations for medication changes or dosage changes based on your needs.
Another part of this management involves an assessment of your medications to identify conflicts. Certain medications and supplements shouldn’t be used together, as they can increase your risk of developing additional health complications.
When should I consider medication management services?
Medication management services are available to anyone who needs assistance in organizing or using more than one medication.
If you’re receiving treatment for several health conditions, you could benefit from these management services to prevent misuse or overuse of your medications. This is especially true if you’re seeing more than one physician to manage your health and underlying medical conditions.
As you get older, it can become more confusing organizing your medications. This is especially true if you take several medicines several times a day.
The team at Florida Medical Pain Management works closely with you to outline a schedule for needed medications. We will make recommend changes in the medicines or dosages as needed to support good health. They can also recommend updates to your medicines when your existing therapy proves no longer effective.
What if there’s a conflict in my medications?
If your Florida Medical Pain Management provider identifies any conflicts among your medications, they can coordinate care with your other physicians. All necessary adjustments can be made to prevent adverse reactions and additional health complications.
By working with the specialists at Florida Medical Pain Management, you’ll have the peace of mind that your existing treatments are working effectively. This is for your overall health, rather than just one specific condition.
