Medication Clinic Specialist

What can I expect from a medication clinic?

The physicians at Pinnacle Care Internal Medicine offer the convenience of an on-site medication clinic to proactively monitor medication therapy you’re using to treat acute or chronic conditions.

During your visit to the medication clinic, your Pinnacle Care Internal Medicine provider carefully reviews all of the medications you are currently taking and the reasons you’re taking them.

To prepare for your appointment, you should write a list of all medications, including vitamins and holistic supplements, that you take regularly. Be sure to include:

• Dosage amount
• Dosage frequency
• Reason for use
  
  

If you have medical or prescription records that indicate when you started using the medications, it can help your physician create a more complete profile.

Why should I participate in a medication clinic?

A full evaluation of your medication use allows your Pinnacle Care Internal Medicine provider the opportunity to ensure no medications you take conflict with others on your list. In some cases, people who see specialists for other conditions may use prescription or over-the-counter medicines in addition to medications prescribed by a primary care physician.

The Pinnacle Care Internal Medicine staff evaluates your overall medication profile, including frequency and dosage to prevent health complications and dangerous side effects.

The medication clinic is also beneficial if you have a chronic condition, like diabetes, or are using prescription blood thinners. Your provider can evaluate and monitor any changes in your condition that indicate your medications aren’t working effectively.

What are the benefits of a medication clinic?

Medication clinics can benefit anyone who needs to take medication regularly to control a chronic health condition. For some, a number of medications may be necessary to protect your health, and this can become overwhelming or confusing.

When you participate in the medication clinic, the Pinnacle Care Internal Medicine staff can provide education and resources for you and your loved ones to ensure you’re using the proper medicines and the correct dosage at the right time.

The team can also help you and your family identify early warning signs that medications aren’t working properly or aren’t being used correctly.
