Medication Reconciliation

Medication reconciliation is a process where your healthcare provider reviews all the medicines you’re currently taking and compares them with any new ones they plan to prescribe. The goal? To make sure everything matches up = this includes checking dosages and spotting any possible drug interactions. 

Imagine you’re juggling  – the items your juggling are medications. If someone throws another ball into the mix without checking if you can catch it, you might drop them all. Similar things can happen with medications if they’re not review properly.
