Medication management is a service that focuses on helping you use medications correctly when treating chronic pain.

The goals of the medication management service available from Dr. Upadhyay are to reduce your risk of complications that can result from taking too much or too little of your medications and protecting you from drug interactions.

During your initial consultation with Dr. Upadhyay, you can expect to discuss your health history and provide a detailed list of the medications you’re taking. This includes all supplements, over-the-counter, and prescription medications you take regularly.

Dr. Upadhyay takes time to review your information and evaluate how well your current medications work for you. He can also identify potential conflicts with medications that you take for chronic pain and other underlying health conditions.

Medication management makes it easier for you to stay on top of your medication use and to ensure that you’re using each drug safely. Dr. Upadhyay takes a patient-centered approach and follows responsible prescribing guidelines to protect your health.

Some of the benefits of medication management include:

Comprehensive assessments

Medication management allows Dr. Upadhyay to carefully assess all medications and supplements you take at the same time, even if you see different physicians for care.

Patient-tailored plans

Through medication management, Dr. Upadhyay creates a treatment plan for both short-term and long-term medication use to protect your health.

Continued safety monitoring

Routine evaluations of your existing medications ensure that you’re using them safely and at the right dosage. Dr. Upadhyay can also confirm the medications you’re taking are effectively treating your pain and other health conditions.

Accurate documentation

Your medication management plan continually tracks all past and present medications in one convenient place.

Dr. Upadhyay can also communicate with your other providers about the necessary changes you need in your medication therapy. This ensures that you receive continuity in your care, and it lowers your risk of overdoses, underdoses, and addiction.

If you regularly take more than one medication, consider the many benefits of medication management. You can schedule a consultation by calling the office of Aman Upadhyay, MD, nearest you or by booking an appointment online today.
