Pharmacotherapists are pharmacists with specialized training in the management of medicines. A pharmacotherapist works with other members of your healthcarel team to ensure the medicine you take is effective, safe, and affordable for you.

• Pharmacotherapy is ideal for management of:
  
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease (including high blood pressure, cholesterol, or heart failure)
  • Blood thinners
  • Lung disease (like asthma or COPD)
  • Tobacco cessation (single and group sessions)
  • Chronic pain or long-term opioid use
  • And multiple other conditions
• Pharmacotherapy can also help with the following situations related to medicines:
  
  • Side-effects and intolerances
  • Drug timing and interactions
  • Insurance problems or costly medicines
  • Multiple medicines or “polypharmacy”
  • Reducing medicines or “de-prescribing”
  • Personal testing for how genes and drugs interact

Visits with a pharmacotherapist focus on the results and benefits of your medications. Find peace of mind as you discuss concerns you may be experiencing with a medication expert.

Most insurance plans recognize the benefit of Pharmacotherapy visits and offer the same coverage as a primary care visit.

If you are interested in making an appointment, please discuss with your primary care provider how a pharmacotherapist will fit into your care team.

You can also call the department directly at 608-324-2259 to make an appointment.

Pharmacotherpay is located on the second floor of the Monroe Clinc main campus.
