What is medication management?

Medication management is a service available to people taking one or more medications to treat a chronic pain condition.

The goal of medication management is to ensure the medications you’re taking work well to manage pain and not cause additional health issues.

Advanced Interventional Pain Consultants also offers expert guidance to help you take the correct dosage at the appropriate time. They work closely with you to prevent complications from overdosing, underdosing, and missed doses.

When would I need medication management?

Advanced Interventional Pain Consultants offers medication management services for adults and adolescents who take multiple medications, vitamins, or supplements at the same time.

For example, if you need prescription pain relievers and also take heart medicine, the providers check for conflicts that can negatively affect your health. They may also adjust your medication and dosage based on your other prescriptions.

Your pain management specialist continues to monitor your health during regular office visits. You may need routine blood work or other tests during a medication management appointment for an effective medication assessment.

What are the benefits of medication management?

Human bodies respond differently to medications – so the medicines that work for other people may not be a good fit for you. Medication management gives you direct access to expert medical advice if you’re taking prescription medication for the first time, have questions about your medicines, or take multiple medicines daily.

The service also helps you understand which medicines to take and when to properly manage your condition because taking too much or too little of a medication can adversely affect your health.

The medical team designs a custom management plan based on your existing health, the medicines you take, and the type of conditions being treated. They identify potential conflicts before you start a new treatment so you can avoid side effects.

Additionally, if you experience nausea, dizziness, or other symptoms from a new pain medication, the providers can make necessary adjustments to keep your pain well-controlled without unwanted side effects.
