Specialized Opioid Stewardship & Pain Management

Safer Prescribing. Better Pain Control. Healthier Outcomes

At MD-RX Telehealth Solutions, LLC, we recognize the delicate balance between effective pain relief and responsible opioid prescribing. Our Opioid Stewardship & Pain Management Program is designed to help healthcare facilities manage this balance with precision, compassion, and clinical expertise.

Whether you’re a hospital, nursing facility, or outpatient clinic, we provide real-time pharmacist-driven interventions to improve pain management strategies, prevent misuse, reduce adverse events, and promote safe opioid use.

The Need for Opioid Stewardship

Opioids remain essential for treating moderate to severe pain. But without careful oversight, they also pose risks such as:

What We Offer

Our licensed clinical pharmacists collaborate remotely with your physicians, nurses, and case managers to support safe and effective opioid prescribing across all care settings.

Appropriateness Reviews

Evaluate pain medication regimens for appropriateness based on pain level, indication, comorbidities, and patient history.

Opioid Tapering & Discontinuation

Recommend safe tapering plans for patients no longer needing opioids or at risk of dependence.

Opioid-Benzo Duplication Checks

Alert providers to dangerous sedative combinations that increase fall, overdose, or death risk.

Naloxone Co-Prescribing Recommendations

Suggest co-prescription of naloxone in high-risk patients (e.g., elderly, high-dose opioid users, COPD patients) to prevent fatal overdoses.

Equianalgesic Conversions

Ensure safe switching between opioid medications or routes (e.g., IV to oral morphine equivalent).

Renal & Hepatic Dosing Adjustments

Prevent accumulation and toxicity in patients with impaired kidney or liver function.

Non-Opioid Pain Management Support

Recommend adjunct or alternative therapies (acetaminophen, NSAIDs, topical agents, gabapentinoids) for multimodal pain control.

Monitoring for Side Effects & Effectiveness

Assist in titrating therapy based on pain scores, sedation levels, bowel function, and patient feedback.

Opioid prescribing policies & protocols
