Medicines work better when appropriately managed.
Older adults, especially, are likely to take several prescribed medications, yet in many cases, they may not follow an appropriate protocol for administering these medications.
For instance, individuals should know the dosage, storage requirements, interactions with other medicines, when to start the medication, potential side effects, and any restrictions on food and drinks while on the medication.
If a patient fails to follow the proper instructions associated with a medication, then the effectiveness of the treatment becomes jeopardized. Moreover, errors in dosage or the correct medication can potentially harm the patient.
Proper medication management benefits both the patient and the physician treating the patient.
How does medication management work?
Medication management enhances the accurate administration of medicines prescribed by a physician. It helps the patient keep track of prescribed drugs and dosage, which can prevent the impact of incorrect dosage, which is essential for psychotropic medicines.
Individuals taking multiple medicines may have trouble keeping track of their administration. Older individuals might find it especially difficult to keep track. Medication management can help these individuals keep organized.
