What Is a Prescription Review?

A prescription review is a thorough evaluation of all your current medications by a licensed pharmacist. The goal is to ensure every medication you take is appropriate, safe, and effective for your specific health needs.

What We Check During a Review

• Drug Interactions: We screen for potential interactions between your prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
• Dosage Accuracy: We verify that each medication is prescribed at the correct dose based on your age, weight, kidney function, and liver function.
• Duplicate Therapy: We identify any medications that may be doing the same thing, which could increase side effects without added benefit.
• Side Effect Monitoring: We review your medication list for drugs known to cause specific side effects and discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing.
• Adherence Assessment: We discuss any challenges you face in taking your medications as prescribed and suggest practical solutions.
