Polypharmacy Outpatient Clinic

A physician from the Department of Clinical Pharmacology prepares a critial medication review before the first visit in the outpatient clinic through critical review of the patient's medical journal and communication with the patient's GP. During the visit in the outpatient clinic, medications are changed based on the medication review with consent from the patient. After the visit the GP is notified of the changes. It is possible to see the patient more than one time in the outpatient clinic (might be needed if tapering or lots of changes) and possible to follow-up on medication changes by telephone with the patient.
