MTM
When you have chronic health conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes, prescription drugs can be a big part of your life. At Osceola Medical Center, our Medication Therapy Management (MTM) program connects you and your provider with a specially trained pharmacist to make sure all medicines you take are necessary, safe and effective.
An MTM pharmacist will help make sure that:
-
You are taking the right amount of medicine.
-
Your medicines are not interacting with each other.
-
You are taking only the medicines you need.
-
Any vitamins, supplements and over-the-counter drugs you are taking are safe and effective.
-
You are spending no more than you need for your medications.
How does the program work?
-
It starts with a short phone call or one-on-one visit to review your medicines:
• Medications for chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.
• Vitamins and other supplements
• Over-the-counter medicines like aspirin and Tylenol
-
We’ll look for ways to reduce side effects, prevent harmful drug interactions and lower drug costs.
-
You’ll receive an Action Plan based on your needs to help you get the most out of your medications.
-
We’ll stay in touch to keep you on a healthy track.
