Medication Management

What Is Medication Management?

Medication management is more than just prescribing—it’s making sure that each medication you take is the right dose, right timing, and right fit for your health needs.

At Fulshear Family Medicine, our providers carefully monitor your prescriptions to:

• Ensure medications are safe and effective
• Avoid harmful drug interactions
• Adjust dosages as your health needs change
• Provide education on how and when to take your medication
• Prevent overuse or unnecessary side effects

Medication Refills: What You Need to Know

We want to make the refill process as smooth as possible for you, but patient safety is always our top priority.

• Routine refills: Some medications can be refilled without an appointment if you are up to date with your follow-up visits.
• Appointment required: In some cases—especially with new prescriptions, dosage changes, or controlled medications—an appointment is required before a refill can be approved. This helps us ensure your treatment remains safe and effective.
• Refill requests: Please contact our office at least 3–5 business days before your medication runs out to allow time for processing.

By keeping your appointments and refill requests on schedule, we can help you avoid gaps in treatment.

Why Medication Management Matters

When not monitored correctly, medications can lead to side effects, interactions, or may not work as intended. Proper medication management helps:
