What happens at a medication management review?

A medication management visit is an evaluation of medication effectiveness, side effects, adverse reactions, and medication interactions. Your provider will need to know your medical medications, medical conditions, and if you are taking your medications as prescribed. Frequent monitoring is needed due to changes in symptoms, changes in medical conditions, and changes in medical medications. You will need to inform your providers of all medications taken and prescribed by other providers, and if you are taking over the counter medications, herbal remedies, and supplements.
