Patient counseling involves providing patients with information about their medications, including how to take them properly, potential side effects, and lifestyle changes. It aims to improve patient understanding and adherence to treatment regimens. The counseling process begins with introductions and assessing the patient's needs and medical history. Pharmacists then present key facts about a patient's medications, how they work, dosage instructions, and issues like drug interactions in a way that is easy to understand. Feedback is provided to check patient comprehension and address any additional concerns before summarizing important points. The goal is for patients to better manage their health and medications.
