Throughout my process of medication reconciliation, I found some potential safety concerns for my patients regarding the medications they were taking and their current conditions. One of these concerns involved my patient’s history of alcohol abuse and being an alcoholic currently. All the medications except for ascorbic acid (vitamin C) inform the users that avoiding alcohol and alcohol cessation is necessary or recommended. My patient currently takes atorvastatin and lisinopril daily, in which case both medications could cause severe side effects for those who use and abuse alcohol such as severe hepatoxic effects. My patient is also above the age of 65, so he is more prone to experiencing side effects of all the medications he is currently taking. The client proved understanding of each medication by telling me what he uses them for and why. It is important that my patient understands why he is taking these medications for many reasons including medication interactions with food, other medications, and contraindications of each medication. Knowing what the medicine does and the purpose behind the medication is crucial to avoid medication interactions that could make the patient ill, cause further complications, and it is also important for the patient to know what signs/symptoms to monitor for while on the medication/supplement. The patient did not have any medications that had the same indications or were even in the same drug class. The patient was aware of this, and he also was aware of any/all serious medication interactions such as not having grapefruit juice while taking atorvastatin. The patient has trouble reading medication labels but has multiple pairs of prescription glasses that help him do so. The patient also is cooperative with taking his medications at the same time every day and storing them properly at room temperature. I would say even though this patient has no serious medication interactions to be concerned about, he should have a care plan in motion to help him with his alcohol abuse.
