Medication Review

Medication Review

As part of our dementia consultations, we complete a comprehensive medication review. We discuss with you all the medications you are currently taking and whether or not we recommend any adjustments should be made. Some medications can cause cognitive side effects, especially if no longer needed after several years of use or significant weight loss (which is common among those with dementia). In addition, some drug-to-drug interactions might worsen or cause dementia symptoms. With our comprehensive medication review, we will provide recommendations to your primary doctor or clinician to consider for less cognitive risk.

D-CAN provides Medication Review services as part of our Dementia Care and Preventive Care Consultations. If you would like to review your medications, contact us to schedule an appointment at our Dementia Resource Center Clinic in St. Cloud, MN.
