Safe Medication use during Pregnancy

Critically evaluating prescriptions for appropriateness, accuracy, potential drug interactions, allergies, duplications, and correct dosing based on patient-specific factors (age, weight, renal/hepatic function, comorbidities). Providing clear, understandable information to patients about their medications' purpose, proper administration, expected effects, potential side effects, storage requirements, and the importance of adherence. Assessing patient response to therapy, identifying and managing adverse drug reactions (ADRs), and recommending adjustments to achieve therapeutic goals. This includes monitoring lab values and clinical outcomes. Identifying barriers to medication access and adherence, offering solutions (e.g., synchronization programs, packaging aids, affordability options).
