How does Zappy Health manage the process of starting and adjusting medication doses?
Zappy Health emphasizes a collaborative approach between providers and patients to ensure safe and effective medication management. Here's how the process works:
Initial Dose Selection
The selection of your starting dose is a medical decision made by your healthcare provider based on your specific medical history and treatment needs. If you wish to begin with a lower starting dose, you can request that the provider submit a prescription for the lower dose. This ensures that the medication plan aligns with your preferences while maintaining clinical safety.
Adjusting Your Dosage
Zappy Health provides a structured process for adjusting your medication dosage after the initial prescription. This includes:
Monthly Reviews: Zappy Health schedules regular, monthly reviews with your provider to assess how well you are responding to the medication.
Review Forms: Completing the monthly review form allows the provider to evaluate your progress and decide whether to increase, decrease, or maintain your dosage.
Collaboration: Both you and your provider play a role in ensuring that the dosage adjustments meet your therapeutic goals effectively and safely.
