What are medication therapy management services? Medication therapy management (MTM) is a distinct service or group of services that optimize drug therapy with the intent of improved therapeutic outcomes for individual patients. Services include a broad range of professional activities, including but not limited to performing patient assessment and/or a comprehensive medication review, formulating a medication treatment plan, monitoring efficacy and safety of medication therapy, enhancing medication adherence through patient empowerment and education, and documenting and communicating MTM services to prescribers in order to maintain comprehensive patient care. Medication therapy management includes five core components: a medication therapy review (MTR), personal medication record (PMR), medication-related action plan (MAP), intervention and/or referral, and documentation and follow-up. A systematic process of collecting patient and medication-related information which occurs during the pharmacist-patient encounter. In addition, the review assists in the identification and prioritization of medication-related problems. During the MTM encounter, the pharmacist develops a PMR for use by the patient. What is the benefit of receiving a comprehensive medication review? Medication-related problems and medication mismanagement are a massive public health problem in the United States. Expenses associated with treating medication-related adverse events resulting in hospitalizations doctor visits, lab exams, etc., cost the economy over $200 billion every year. Patients are not immune and responsible for their copays, along with their general well being. Patients on average take 11.4 meds/day. It is a daunting task to manage, correctly administer, understand the role of medications, and understand the disease state. An estimated 12% of the U.S. population is considered to be health literate. NOW SERVICING ALL YOUR NON STERILE COMPOUND NEEDS
Compounding Pharmacy
Do compounded medications require FDA Approval? The FDA approval process is intended for mass-produced drugs made by large manufacturers. Since compounded medications are personalized for individual patients’ needs, it is not possible for each formulation to go through the FDA’s drug approval process. This approval process takes years to complete and is prohibitively expensive, often costing millions of dollars. At Well Care Compounding Pharmacy, we understand that there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution for a patient’s pharmaceutical needs. A patient may be allergic or sensitive to dyes or fillers in traditional medications- or that patient may just have trouble swallowing pills. We use the most advanced compounding techniques to prepare medications that suit any patient’s specific needs. We are able to prepare compounds in a wide variety of dosage forms including liquids, special flavorings, troches, creams, ointments, sprays, suppositories, and much, much more.
