When someone you love takes multiple medications, it can become overwhelming and even dangerous. Medication review and reconciliation help make sure your loved one only takes medicines that truly help them while avoiding harmful combinations or unnecessary drugs.
How We Review Medications
Peter uses proven methods like StopFrail, Beers Criteria, and STOPP/START guidelines to carefully examine every medication your loved one takes—both daily medicines and those used “as needed.”
During a medication review, you’ll receive:
- A complete list of all current medications
- Clear explanations of what each medicine should do and how well it works
- Simple explanations of side effects and risks
- Information about how different medicines might interact in harmful ways
Many families are surprised to learn that some medications can actually make symptoms worse or cause new problems, especially in older adults. Our Medication Review Case Study shows you exactly how this process works.
What You Can Expect
The review results in personalized recommendations that might include:
- Stopping certain medications that are no longer needed
- Gradually reducing doses with safe step-by-step instructions
- Changing how often medicines are taken
- Starting new medications that could help more
The Benefits for Your Loved One
This process often leads to:
- Fewer side effects and better quality of life
- Less confusion and fewer falls
- Improved overall health and comfort
- Peace of mind knowing the medication plan is as safe and effective as possible
You’ll receive clear guidance on any changes that need to be made, so you never feel confused or worried about what to do next.
