Medication Therapy Management

Another important aspect of MTM is medication regimen optimization. This involves making changes to the patient’s medications, such as adjusting the dose, switching to a different medication, or adding a new medication, to improve patient outcomes. For example, a healthcare professional may recommend switching a patient from a brand-name drug to a generic or lower-cost alternative, or adding a medication to help manage a new health condition. Ongoing monitoring of therapy is also important, this may include monitoring the patient’s response to therapy, and making adjustments to the medication regimen as needed. This helps to ensure that the patient’s treatment plan is effective, and that they are not experiencing any adverse effects from their medications.
