In the Medication Review component of the Medication Management Process, reviewing pertinent medication history for potential interactions is essential. This aspect focuses on gathering and analyzing a patient’s complete medication profile, which includes current prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, and any previous medication histories. The goal is to identify any possible drug interactions, contraindications, or duplications in therapy which could compromise patient safety or treatment efficacy.

By carefully assessing this information, pharmacy technicians can help ensure medications are used appropriately and effectively. This proactive approach can lead to better patient outcomes, as it allows for adjustments or necessary consultations to be made before issues arise. Understanding a patient's full medication history is critical for identifying risks and ensuring safe medication therapy management.
