Medication Therapy Management is a comprehensive review of all the medications a patient is taking, including prescriptions, over-the-counter products, supplements, and vitamins. Pharmacists assess whether medications are appropriate, effective, and safe, and they look for any duplications, interactions, or unnecessary treatments. MTM is especially beneficial for patients with chronic conditions, those on multiple medications, or those recently discharged from the hospital. It helps optimize outcomes and reduces healthcare costs by preventing complications and hospital readmissions.

Pharmacists are trained and authorized in many countries to administer a wide range of vaccines. This includes routine vaccinations like influenza (flu), COVID-19, shingles (herpes zoster), hepatitis A and B, HPV, and travel vaccines. By offering these services, pharmacies increase access to immunizations, especially in communities with limited healthcare providers. Vaccination services are typically quick, affordable, and available without needing a doctor’s appointment.
