The first phase is to standardize frequency of medication monitoring visits to ensure optimal prescription safety as follows:

  • Patients on chronic TRIPILICATE prescription narcotics should be seen a minimum of four times per year, usually every 3 months.
  • Patients with Diabetes should be seen at least every 6 months.
  • Patients on any prescription medication should be seen yearly.

We encourage our patients to further follow these guidelines regarding medication safety and effectiveness:
