Taking the right drug at the right time is not always easy. An individual must be able to recognize the medication, understand the prescription instructions, and take it both at the appropriate time and in the prescribed manner. Many individuals must be able to reconcile multiple medications, coordinating the use of prescription medications with over-the-counter drugs. This set of behaviors, which guide appropriate medication use, is commonly known as medication management.
