Medication Review Online – Professional Medication Check from Home

Medication review online is a virtual consultation where a qualified doctor assesses your current medication regimen to ensure safety, effectiveness, and appropriateness. Through video, phone, or chat, a PMDC-verified physician can evaluate your prescriptions, over-the-counter medications, and supplements—checking for potential drug interactions, side effects, dosage accuracy, and overall treatment optimization.

Medication safety is a critical public health concern in Pakistan. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in BMC Public Health found that the pooled prevalence of self-medication in Pakistan is 64% (95% CI: 57-71%), based on 65 studies involving 35,960 participants. This widespread practice of self-medication can lead to serious consequences including antimicrobial resistance, delayed appropriate healthcare, adverse drug reactions, and drug interactions.

Telemedicine has emerged as a powerful tool to address medication safety. Research published in the Pakistan Journal of Medical and Clinical Research highlights telemedicine's role in improving medication adherence through structured counseling and its potential to bridge healthcare accessibility gaps in Pakistan. Platforms like SehatKahani provide personalized medication adherence programs with different reminder settings.

• Side effect management – Recognizing and addressing adverse effects
