Five Reasons for Medication Management
Affordability: Are you taking less than your required dosage or skipping doses because your medication is too expensive? We can help you find a more affordable solution including generic meds or trying a similar medication that is less expensive.
Accessibility: Once we have your medication management plan established, we will work with you to make sure your medications are refilled when and where you need them. This is helpful for people who might have trouble getting to the pharmacy or who frequently travel.
Overwhelming Medication Regimen: Clients at times can feel overwhelmed by the number of medications they are taking. Our medication reviews include a full review of each medication to see if there are ways to simplify your daily regimen. This can sometimes include slowly eliminating unnecessary medications and supplements.
Undesirable Side Effects: Sometimes clients will skip doses or stop taking medications because of the side effects. Instead of skipping doses, let us help you find mental health meds that will effectively treat your condition with fewer or no side effects.
Finding Alternatives to High-Risk Medications: Even if your current medication and dosage are working just fine, there are safer alternatives to controlled substances and other high-risk medications. These medications are often prescribed for short-term use but soon become part of a client’s daily medicine regimen and in some cases can result in chemical dependency. Replacing high-risk medications with safer alternatives can provide the same amount of relief without the risk.
