Drugs are vital for treating many medical conditions, from severe bacterial infections to heart disease. They’re also invaluable for patients suffering from acute or long-term (chronic) pain.
The team at Addison Pain + Regenerative Medicine uses medication management to monitor the drugs their patients take and the effects of those drugs.
Medication management is critical to pain treatment for several reasons:
Ensuring that the pain-relief drugs you take have significant benefits is vital. These benefits can be pain reduction, tissue healing, or both.
Pain medication sometimes causes side effects. These are unpleasant or distressing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and nausea. Many side effects are tolerable, especially when weighed against the drugs’ benefits. Others are hard to live with, and some are harmful.
Some medicines interact when taken together. The effects of one or both drugs can increase or decrease, or the combination could be toxic.
Medication management at Addison Pain + Regenerative Medicine ensures that your medicines are effective, safe, and work as they should.
