Herbal Medication Reviews
Herbal Medication Reviews
This service provides a careful review of your existing herbal, vitamin, and pharmaceutical medications to support safe use by reducing interactions or contraindications so to align your current heathcare treatments, as drug interactions can change the effectiveness of a medication and produce side effects.Â
The active constituents within a medication must complement one another otherwise they will fight to be absorbed into the system, and the therapeutic dose will be compromised. Therefore, the time a medication is taken is crucial.
Currently in Australia complementary medicine is not supported by the pharmaceutical benefits scheme (PBS) therefore an herbal medication review eliminates unnecessary purchases to focus on what is specifically essential for your health and wellbeing and to what therapeutic dose is necessary to achieve this outcome.
This service provides clear recommendations with written reports available to clients, carers, or other healthcare professionals.
