Medication Management Q&A

What is medication management? 

Medication management involves adjusting and monitoring medicines prescribed to patients to achieve optimal outcomes. It allows your board-certified provider at Resilient Psychiatry to assess their safety and efficacy, ensuring that you take the proper dosage at the right time and monitoring for adverse effects.

With extensive experience managing medications, Maureen Conway uses her expertise to ensure the best outcomes with minimal side effects. She works closely with health care providers to meet preferences, needs, and health goals.

 

Is medication management necessary? 

Medication management offers many benefits, including:

Better treatment outcomes 

Management of various medicines works to identify potential interactions among prescriptions, reducing the risk of unwanted side effects. It ensures medications are as safe and effective as possible without compromising patient well-being.

 

Improved medication adherence 

Skilled and knowledgeable providers educate patients on how to take their medications properly, including the timing of administration and proper dosages. 

Through improving medication adherence, patients can better control symptoms, reduce the risk of complications, and achieve better treatment outcomes. These strategies can also help patients avoid doubling up on medications or missing doses.

 

Enhanced quality of life

Along with reducing side effects and ensuring patients get the most out of all their medications, medication management relieves the burden of tracking multiple medicines. 

It eliminates guesswork, so patients don’t have to worry about taking too little or too much of their prescriptions.
