Abstract

Pharmacotherapy: Maximizing Treatment Efficacy and Safety for Improved Patient Outcomes

Zhihua Sai-Y*

Pharmacotherapy is a medical treatment that uses one or more medicinal products to treat an underlying medical problem, improve continuing symptoms (symptomatic alleviation), or prevent further diseases [1]. It is often referred to as pharmaceutical therapy or drug therapy. A lengthy history of medicine use has led to the evolution of contemporary pharmacological therapy, which has altered most quickly in the recent century as a result of advances in drug discovery [2]. Healthcare practitioners administer and modify therapy based on the patient's health status and evidence-based guidelines.
