Jonathan Watanabe, PharmD, Ph.D., Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences at UC San Diego, describes non-optimized medication therapy as "prescriptions that may not be exactly appropriate for your indication -- not quite the right medication or dose -- or you just don't take the medication for whatever reason, don't take them as directed, or the medication causes an adverse event or a new health problem."
