What Is Medication Therapy Management?
Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a personalized service offered by pharmacists to help patients manage their medications. The goal of MTM is to ensure that your medications are appropriate, effective, and safe for your unique health needs.
MTM involves reviewing all of your medications—prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements—to identify any potential issues, such as:
-
Drug interactions
-
Duplicate medications
-
Incorrect dosages
-
Side effects or allergies
Your pharmacist will work closely with you and your healthcare team to optimize your treatment plan.
