Personalized, pharmacist-led care for safer and more effective medication use
If you take medications regularly, managing them can sometimes feel overwhelming. Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a professional service provided by a pharmacist to help you understand your medicines, use them correctly, and achieve the best possible health outcomes.
At The Dose of Clarity, MTM is designed to put you at the center of your care, ensuring your medications are safe, appropriate, effective, and aligned with your health goals.
What Is Medication Therapy Management?
Medication Therapy Management (MTM) is a structured, evidence-based service where a pharmacist conducts a comprehensive review of all the medicines you take, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, herbal remedies, and supplements.
The goal of MTM is to identify and resolve medication-related problems, improve adherence, minimize side effects, and support better treatment outcomes.
MTM does not replace your doctor’s care. Instead, it complements it by ensuring your medication therapy is optimized and, where necessary, communicating recommendations to your prescriber.
Who Can Benefit From MTM?
MTM is especially helpful if you:
- Take three or more medications
- Live with a chronic condition (such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, HIV, mental health conditions)
- Experience side effects, interactions, or concerns about your medicines
- Feel unsure about why you are taking certain medications
- Have recently been hospitalised or had changes to your treatment
- Care for a child, elderly parent, or loved one on long-term medication
If medications are part of your daily life, MTM can help bring clarity and confidence.
