Bringing all medications to each clinic visit will allow the healthcare provider to review the medications with the patient and identify any potential issues, such as drug interactions or duplicate therapy. This will help reduce confusion and improve adherence to the medication regimen. Avoiding the use of OTC medications and reviewing the manufacturer's information insert are also important, but may not be as effective as bringing all medications to clinic visits. Saving money by getting each drug at the pharmacy with the lowest price may compromise medication quality or safety.
