Drug Regimen Review is the term used to describe the process by which a Consultant Pharmacist reviews medication use for a patient. A comprehensive drug regimen review is multifaceted, and includes the following, at minimum: A review of the individual patient s complete medical record, including the drug list, current laboratory reports, consultation reports, as well as the nursing and medical progress notes. The Drug Regimen Review is designed to identify medications that may no longer be necessary, or may be more appropriate in a lower dose. Additionally, the drug regimen review can identify previously unrecognized drug-drug or drug-disease state interactions. Further, the drug regimen review process may identify opportunities to treat patients with better tolerated medications or medications that have more convenient dosing schedules.
