Frequently
Asked Questions?
How Can RxReview Help Me?
|
Answers
We thoroughly review, with you, your current medication profile,
medication history and current medical problems.
- We
look for therapeutic duplications - instances where medications
from the same class might be prescribed.
- We
evaluate for possible drug-drug interactions - situations
where one medication can interfere with the action of
another medication.
- We
look for possible drug-disease interactions - cases where
a medication's side effect may mimic a possible disease
state.
- We
evaluate your medications to see if there is possibly
a less expensive, yet, therapeutically equal approach
to what you are currently taking.
