Medication Therapy Management
Medicines are important for living well, but as we age, our bodies respond to medications differently. The Sanford Center for Aging Medication Therapy Management (MTM) Program offers comprehensive medication reviews for Nevadans age 60 and older who are taking five or more medications and/or supplements. The reviews are FREE for everyone, with special priority for low-income, rural and minority participants. Reviews can be done in person or over the phone with our Board Certified Geriatric Pharmacist.

- Answer questions or concerns you have.
- Learn how to get the most benefit from your medications and supplements, and learn whether the supplements you're taking are really making a difference in your health.

Your medical provider may have different opinions about the recommendations made by the clinical pharmacist. Therefore, you need to discuss the recommendations made by the pharmacist with them before you make any changes to your medications.
