Patient Case: Addressing Pain Control with Drug-Drug Interactions

Written by Desiree Massari | Oct 29, 2025 6:18:52 PM

Lucy is a 97-year-old woman recently admitted to hospice care.

As her Precision Pharmacist, I identified that she had a medication regimen extremely concerning for adverse drug events.

Lucy had a history of chronic pain that was not well controlled. She explained to her nurse on initial assessment that she had also been experiencing some dizziness on standing. I kept these complaints in mind when I used the GalenusCare safety analytics tool to guide recommendations and interventions to improve the safety of Lucy’s regimen.
