Medication Management Q & A

What is medication management?

Medication management is a preventive health care service that reduces your risk of complications when using prescription medicines to treat physical or mental health problems.

The goals of medication management are to minimize your risk of under- and overdosing and to teach you how to take the medications correctly.

The improper use of medications can lead to severe health consequences, including addiction, organ failure, and premature death. There’s also a risk of adverse side effects when you regularly take more than one medication.

MyHomeDoc also offers medication management to adults to ensure that the medications they use to manage an acute or chronic physical or mental health condition are working as they should.

When would I benefit from medication management?

You’ll benefit from the medication management services available at MyHomeDoc if you take prescription drugs as part of your treatment for an illness or injury.

The medical team might also recommend medication management if you:

  • Have severe health problems
  • Take several medications
  • Have medication allergies
  • Experience medication side effects

If you’ve been hospitalized for an illness or injury, the team can also provide medication management after your discharge to support your recovery.

What can I expect during a medication management consultation?

MyHomeDoc provides adults with personalized medication management services through a virtual telehealth platform.

During your initial consultation, the team meets with you online to review your personal and family medical histories and your current health. You must also provide them with a detailed list of all the medications and supplements you take and the dosages.

The providers review your information to identify potential conflicts between your medications. They also assess your overall health to confirm your medications control your condition. If you have concerns about your medicines, the team can adjust your dosage or recommend a different prescription.

Follow-up visits are available through the telehealth platform so that the team can monitor your ongoing use of medications and refill your prescriptions. The medical team also provides same-day virtual urgent care visits if you experience unwanted side effects of a new drug.
