T2  - Medication Therapy Management: A Comprehensive Approach
AB  - Appropriate  evaluation  of  schizophrenia  includes  assessment  of  patients'  positive  symptoms,  negative  symptoms,  and  severity  of  cognitive  deficits.  MTM  providers  working  with  patients  with  schizophrenia  should  be  adequately  trained  in  the  use  of  common  rating  scales.MTM  providers  should  educate  patients  to  be  realistic  about  the  expected  outcomes  of  antipsychotic  therapy,  ie,  even  when  medication  is  taken  as  prescribed,  there  may  be  days  when  symptoms  of  schizophrenia  may  be  bothersome.Nonadherence  is  a  common  medication-related  problem  among  patients  with  schizophrenia.  MTM  providers  should  be  vigilant  for  nonadherence  and  work  with  the  patient  and  provider  to  find  a  regimen  that  promotes  adherence  and  minimizes  adverse  effects  along  with  drug  costs.Metabolic  syndrome  and  extrapyramidal  symptoms  are  concerning  adverse  effects  of  antipsychotic  drug  therapy.  MTM  providers  should  monitor  for  these  adverse  effects  and  recommend  appropriate  changes  in  therapy  to  help  minimize  their  consequences.
