The process of medication review generally involves several steps:
Data Collection: Gathering comprehensive information about the patient's medications, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and supplements. Evaluation: Assessing the appropriateness, effectiveness, safety, and adherence to each medication. Action Plan: Developing a plan to resolve any identified issues, which may include altering dosages, switching medications, or discontinuing unnecessary drugs. Follow-Up: Monitoring the patient to ensure that the changes have been effective and that no new problems have arisen.
