MTM Consultations

What is medication therapy management (MTM)?

Medication therapy management (MTM) is a term used to describe a broad range of health care services provided by pharmacists, the medication experts on the health care team. Medication therapy management is a service or group of services that optimize therapeutic outcomes for individual patients.

 

Our MTM Services

 

As part of our MTM Consultation Services, our pharmacist work to help the patient obtain the most beneficial outcomes from their medication. Our MTM Services include

  • Medication Therapy reviews,
  • Pharmacotherapy consults,
  • Anticoagulation management,
  • Immunizations,
  • Health and wellness programs and
  • Many other clinical services


Our Pharmacists provide medication therapy management to help patients get the best benefits from their medications by actively managing drug therapy and by identifying, preventing, and resolving medication-related problems.

During the review, the pharmacist will actively manage the patient's drug therapy by checking for lower-cost alternatives, duplicate therapy, drug interactions, and monitor for side effects.

The pharmacist will also assess the medication regimen for potentially unnecessary medications or necessary additional drug therapy options.

 

Who can benefit from MTM?

 

Anyone who uses prescription medications, non-prescription medications, herbals, or other dietary supplements may potentially benefit from medication therapy management services. People who may benefit the most include those who use several medications, those who have several health conditions, those who have questions or problems with their medications, those who are taking medications that require close monitoring, those who have been hospitalized, and those who obtain their medications from more than one pharmacy.
