As healthcare providers, we continually balance clinical care and emerging patient needs and desires; perhaps especially in the age of technology. One of the trends over the past few years is the increase in online access to medications, particularly prescriptions for chronic pain or muscle spasms.
Technology-based services such as Soma4Ever have provided patients with access to Soma (Carisoprodol), and other medications, with less effort than going to a pharmacy. These services are often more private, albeit mainly easier, and frequently less expensive than visiting an in-person pharmacy. With that convenience comes responsibility; both to make sure patients are educated and guided by licensed professionals, and therefore, sound medical information.
This forum is intended for pain management, telemedicine, pharmacology, and general practice specialists to report their best practices with the introduction of digital pharmacies into patient care. What is safe? What are the concerns? What are the regulatory barriers? Can a digital pharmacy software like Soma4Ever really help to ensure compliance and/or responsible use?
Please use this forum to connect, learn, and grow to define the new standard of care in a technology-based healthcare system. Your ideas contribute to knowledge.
