MEDICATION TREATMENT MANAGEMENT (MTM)

OVERVIEW

MTM is a personalized, collaborative approach to ensure patients receive the safest, most effective use of their medications. In modern healthcare, specially for individuals managing chronic pain, multiple conditions, or complex medication regimen, MTM provides a structured way to optimize treatment, reduce risks, and align therapy with each patient’s unique needs and goals.

MTM is especially valuable for patients who:

  • Take multiple medications

  • Manage chronic or complex conditions (e.g., pain disorders, diabetes, cardiovascular disease)

  • Use medications from multiple prescribers

  • Notice new or worsening symptoms

  • Feel uncertain about how or when to take their medications

  • Want reassurance that their regimen is safe and optimized

WHAT’S INVOLVED

AT PainRx MTM is more than a medication review; it is a comprehensive, ongoing, supportive partnership.  Dr. Angelopoulos evaluates every medication a patient is taking (prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and vitamins) to make sure each one is:

  • Clinically necessary

  • Effective for the patient’s condition

  • Safe based on medical history, lab results, and potential interactions

  • Convenient and appropriate for each patient’s unique daily routine

This evaluation often uncovers issues such as duplicate therapies, outdated prescriptions, unmet treatment goals, or side effects that can be prevented or managed.
