Pre-Prescription Screening

Meaning

Pre-Prescription Screening is the mandatory clinical process of conducting a thorough and systematic assessment of a patient’s health status prior to initiating any new pharmacological therapy, especially complex hormonal or metabolic agents. This essential step includes comprehensive laboratory testing, detailed review of personal and family medical history, and physical examination. The goal is to identify contraindications, establish baseline risk, and predict potential treatment responsiveness.
