What is medication management?
Medication management is a health care service available at Bethany Health Services to ensure you take the right medications for your condition at the proper doses.
The team also supervises your use of medications to lower your risk for complications resulting from missed doses, medication misuse, or an overdose.
Additionally, Bethany Health Services provides comprehensive counseling services, so you understand how to take your medications on time and are familiar with the possible side effects some drugs can cause.
When would I need medication management services?
You might need the medication management services available at Bethany Health Services if you take one or more medications to manage a chronic physical or mental health condition.
The team may also recommend medication management services if you’re taking medications to support your recovery from a substance use disorder.
In addition to ensuring you’re taking medications correctly, the medical team confirms that your medications don’t conflict.
For instance, if you take antihistamines to treat allergies, you may not be able to take certain painkillers simultaneously because both medications can slow down your respiratory system. The team can recommend other treatment strategies if you take any medications that could cause an unwanted drug reaction.
What happens during a medication management consultation?
During your initial medication management consultation, you meet with the Bethany Health Services team to discuss your overall health and the reasons you take medications.
They review all medications, vitamins, and supplements you take to identify any conflicts. The team also assesses your medical history and may order lab tests to see how well your treatment plan is working.
You might also need diagnostic testing if you have any unwanted side effects from medications you need to take to treat a physical or mental health condition.
Through regular follow-up appointments, the Bethany Health Services team continues to monitor your use of medications. If you experience unpleasant side effects or the medications you take stop working, the team can adjust your care plan.
