Sapna Patel, Director of Clinical Services at Mosaic Pharmacy Service, was part of a panel discussion with Senator Tim Kaine. The discussion focused on prescription drug costs and the need for a value-based pharmacy like Mosaic. The cost of drugs includes more than just what we pay for them.   ·      Studies have shown that 2 out of 3 seniors take 5 or more meds per day, and the cost of underuse, overuse, and mis-use of prescription drugs results in $530 billion per year in avoidable medical care.   ·      There will be 90 million doctor visits, ED visits, and hospitalizations for adverse drug reactions among seniors in this decade.   ·      It takes more than copay reductions to ensure seniors get the meds they need and get off the meds they don’t need, which is where Mosaic is having a positive impact.

While adding a supplement or two to your diet to boost your health and wellness can be beneficial, often supplements can cause negative reactions when they interact with the medicine we’re taking. This EveryDay Health article lays out 7 common supplement and medication interaction but if you’re unsure about the supplement you want to try and how it might interact with your prescriptions, make sure to ask your pharmacist.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought attention to many healthcare system inequities since many underserved communities were disproportionately impacted during this time. Over the last few years, retail pharmacies have started trying to address the challenges around health equity. In the wake of the pandemic, mental health services, patient education, medication adherence and pharmacy access have emerged as key areas of focus for retail pharmacies. In response, many pharmacies are increasingly partnering with community organizations to address these issues and taking steps to promote systemic changes that address disparities in healthcare. Taking a patient-centric approach allows us to address the barriers to equitable care provide the best care possible to every patient. Learn more here: https://hubs.li/Q01YMHf80

There are many healthcare financial aid programs for low income patients, but what support do they really want? A new national survey of 1,000 U.S. adults earning less than $25,000 per year revealed that 65.8% are taking medications daily for chronic conditions, but the majority (69.5%) of those self-identify as not taking them properly and they want help. Medication adherence is critical to effectively managing chronic conditions and nonadherence accounts for up to 125,000 potentially preventable deaths and around $500 billion in avoidable healthcare costs annually in the United States. Understanding a patient’s preferences and their financial circumstances is critical in helping patients get and stay on their medication. Based on our experience with patients at a wide range of income levels, it is no surprise the top three requests from patients include having a healthcare professional available for questions, daily care check-ins and medication reviews with their doctor.

Polypharmacy can be dangerous for older adults. A lack of communication among different providers can lead to safety concerns for a patient, including duplicate medications, drug-drug interactions, drug-disease state interactions and an overall increased risk of adverse effects. Pharmacists can play a vital role in protecting patients from polypharmacy, as they provide medication management and optimization through collaborative practice agreements with the patient’s primary care physician.

Illegal pharmacies supply drugs manufactured in foreign facilities that are not subject to monitoring by the FDA or operate without the licenses required. Illegal online pharmacies conduct their business through web sites, excluding the dark web and social media. The sale of prescription medications through illegal online pharmacies in the U.S. is increasing. In 2022, prescription drugs worth an estimated $34 billion were purchased from them. The potential for harm with these pharmacies is high as the growing volume of drugs sold through illegal online pharmacies are estimated to generate 10 times higher adverse event rates than drugs sold through legal pharmacies. We must continue working with our patients to get them on the right medication that they can affoprd and ensure they can find relief front their symptoms through safe and effective channels: https://hubs.li/Q01XGb_10
