Clinical Pharmacology outpatient consultation unit

Patients can visit us on an outpatient basis for the evaluation of complex drug therapies with regard to efficacy, side effects and drug interactions.

In general, this involves:

  • Detailed medical history
  • Special medication history (incl. "brown bag analysis")
  • Review of all medicines, dietary supplements and other preparations taken
  • Comparison of the medication with the illnesses
  • Analysis of individual polypharmacy

If required:

  • Additional diagnostic procedures (e.g. imaging, ultrasound, etc.)
  • Consultation with colleagues from other departments of the UKB

After medication analysis and evaluation of all diagnostic results, a doctor's letter is issued with assessments and recommendations regarding:

  • Discontinuation/replacement of medications due to side effects or drug interactions
  • Adjustment of doses
  • Identification of potentially inadequate medication (PIM) in elderly patients according to Priscus and FORTA
  • Integrated medication plan

We will need a referral from a physician (e.g. general practitioner, specialist) as well as an overview of the patient's medical history (if possible with current laboratory parameters) and the current medication (drug substance, dosage, times).
