Medication Management

As we age, taking medications can become more complex—especially when managing multiple prescriptions. Changes in body composition, slower metabolism, and declining kidney or liver function can affect how medications work and increase the risk of side effects. 

ChronosCare provides personalized medication management services to support older adults in maintaining a safe and consistent medication routine. Dr. Raffi Hodikian works closely with each patient to simplify medication schedules, adjust dosages as needed, and educate both patients and caregivers to reduce the risks of missed doses or harmful interactions.

What is medication management?

A medication management program helps ensure that patients take the right medications safely and consistently. At ChronosCare, Dr. Raffi Hodikian offers personalized medication reviews, dosage adjustments, and simplified schedules to support older adults—especially those managing multiple prescriptions. The program focuses on improving adherence, preventing harmful interactions, and reducing the risk of complications. Whether through in-home visits or telehealth, Dr. Hodikian works closely with patients and families to promote safe, effective medication use.

As we age, changes in metabolism, increased body fat, and reduced kidney or liver function can affect how medications are processed. These shifts can lead to stronger effects or longer-lasting side effects, especially with fat-soluble or water-soluble drugs. When combined with polypharmacy, the risks of confusion, falls, and other adverse outcomes increase. Dr. Hodikian’s approach addresses these concerns by tailoring each medication plan to the patient’s individual needs, educating caregivers, and providing ongoing support to promote independence and overall health.
