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.

Why Medication Therapy Management Is Important

MTM provides numerous benefits, especially if you take multiple medications. It helps ensure that your medications are working together as intended and that you're not experiencing unnecessary side effects.

Key Benefits of MTM:

  • Improved Medication Safety: MTM helps identify and prevent potential drug interactions or harmful side effects.

  • Better Health Outcomes: By ensuring your medications are effective and properly managed, MTM can help you achieve your health goals more efficiently.

  • Personalized Care: MTM takes into account your unique health conditions, making sure your treatment plan is tailored to you.

  • Cost Savings: Through medication reviews, you may discover cost-effective alternatives or avoid unnecessary medications, reducing your overall healthcare expenses.
