Our Approach
Medication can improve your health but also cause unwanted side-effects and put a dent in your budget. Through the Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Clinic, the highly-skilled pharmacists at Deaconess help you get the most out of your medication. They have a deep understanding of prescription and over-the-counter drugs and take the time to review the costs and benefits of each medication you take.
During a one-on-one session with a Deaconess pharmacist, you can expect to:
- Review each medication prescribed to you
- Review each over-the-counter medication and/or herbal supplement you take
- Review lab results
- Discuss possible drug interactions
- Discuss possible side-effects
- Learn how to take your medicine as prescribed
- Learn more about your chronic disease, illness, etc.
- Change the amount/strength of your medication dose as appropriate
- Identify the lowest price option for your medication
