Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Service
MTM is a collaborative effort between you, your pharmacist and other healthcare professionals to promote the safe and effective use of medications. It is designed to help you achieve the targeted outcomes from a prescription regimen. MTM includes a range of services designed to help you:
- Know more about getting the greatest benefit from your medications
- Reduce risk by learning how to avoid harmful side effects
- Save money by finding lower-cost alternatives to prescribed medications
During your private consultation, our Pittsboro Pharmacy team member will review your medications and provide detailed advice regarding each of them. Throughout your treatment, our specially trained pharmacist(s) will work closely with you and help you get the most benefits from your therapy.
