Medication Review

Medication review and polydrug use information for private GP patients

Your Path to Safer, Smarter Care

This comprehensive consultation is designed to evaluate your current medications and overall health status. As your medical needs evolve, your treatment must do too, ensuring it remains effective, up to date, and tailored to your needs. This review is particularly valuable for individuals taking multiple medications. I’ll assess treatment effectiveness, manage side effects, and simplify your regimen where possible, helping to prevent unnecessary side effects and avoid medications that may clash with one another. Where appropriate, I may also change your medication or adjust its dosage to better reflect your current health. The goal is to ensure your care reflects who you are today, not yesterday, so you can feel confident in every aspect of your treatment.
