MEDICATION THERAPY MANAGEMENT Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a partnership between the pharmacist, the patient (or their caregiver), and other health professionals who promote the safe and effective use of medications. Its purpose is to assist patients in achieving the targeted outcomes and goals of their individual medication therapy regimens. Our pharmacists offer analytical, consulting, instructional, training, and monitoring services as part of the MTM program at Access Care Pharmacy. These services are designed to assist our customers and patients in obtaining the most beneficial effects possible from the drugs they take. Access Care Pharmacy is able to ensure that each patient receives the maximum benefit from his or her personalized medications by boosting the patient's understanding of medication therapy, increasing the patient's adherence to medications, controlling costs, and preventing drug complications. This allows the pharmacy to ensure that each patient receives the maximum possible benefit from his or her medications. The success of the MTM program will, of course, be highly dependent on the level of dedication and commitment shown by both the patient and the pharmacists; nonetheless, it is our intention to make available as many opportunities as possible for pharmaceutical treatment to be successful. Diabetes, asthma, chronic pain and sickness, and care for the elderly are only some of the diseases and conditions that might benefit from MTM's use. This list is by no means exhaustive. The first step in the pharmaceutical therapy management services that our pharmacist will give for a patient is to evaluate a list of the drugs that the patient has been prescribed in the past. Then, our pharmacist will check for previous instances of medication interactions, problems, duplications of pharmaceuticals coming from the same family, dosages, methods of administration, and dosage formulations (size, strength, type, etc). In the course of this assessment, we will also be analyzing the patient's pharmaceutical routine in order to identify any areas in which we might be able to improve the quality of care they get. Access Care Pharmacy in New Britain, Connecticut takes great pleasure in the fact that we are committed to the patient and dedicated to them. Our services for the management of medication therapy are designed to guarantee that every patient will have the greatest potential for success over the course of their treatment.

PAIN MANAGEMENT Access Care Pharmacy Provides Individualized Medication for the Treatment of Pain Access Care Pharmacy in New Britain, Connecticut is a well-respected family pharmacy, and as such, they are aware that everyone has some level of pain at some point in their lives. Pain is, in point of fact, the symptom that patients identify as being the primary reason for seeking medical assistance. Frequently, pain is severe but only lasts for a brief period of time. An example of this would be a headache brought on by stress or muscular strain brought on by an injury sustained at work or while playing sports. A simple anti-inflammatory medication like aspirin or another painkiller, or even a heating pad, could do the trick. Sometimes, acute pain transforms into chronic pain, which is the sort of pain that persists even after the effects of therapy have passed. A significant number of people suffer from severe disorders that cause ongoing pain, such as migraines, arthritis, or fibromyalgia. Relief from Mass-Manufactured Pain Medications...and Their Side Effects On the market, you can find a wide variety of pain medications that are made in large quantities.

HOW DOES IT HELP NURSING HOMES? The majority of medications administered in nursing homes are required by law to be packaged with specified information, such as lot numbers and expiration dates. Because of this, they require individual bubble wrapping for each medicine. Nurses are qualified to give medicine to patients, but they are not authorized to sell or distribute medication. Because of this, each and every drug is required to have its own unique marking and packaging. The majority of the time, large institutional pharmacies are the only option for large nursing care facilities when it comes to obtaining the pharmaceuticals they need. This is the more costly option. Access Care Pharmacy is able to create customized packaging for any medication, including blister packs containing single doses or multiple doses, and can fit up to four different medications in a single container. HOW DOES IT HELP GROUP HOMES? In most cases, nursing personnel is not employed at group homes (also known as homes for adults with mental impairment). Medications may be dispensed without the risk of human error thanks to the packaging. For instance, we may make a separate container for the patient's nightly medication and a separate one for their morning medication. We are able to package the patient's medicines for the upcoming five weekdays if they travel home on the weekends.
