Medication Plans in Viso - Blood Pressure Management Programme

• Why do I not see a medication plan/my medications on Viso?

  You may not have a medication plan on Viso if your doctor registered you for monitoring-only. If you are currently taking medication, please continue to do so according to your doctor's instructions. If your doctor creates a medication plan in Viso in the future, the details will be shown in the Medication Tab.

• Why do I need to update my medication schedule?

  If you move to the next step in your medication plan, your medication will change and this may affect your medication schedule. Tapping "Update medication schedule" updates your reminders and informs your doctor that you have now started on the next step.

  Note

  • You can edit your reminders in the "Notification Settings" screen.
  • Your medication reminders will be paused when you complete the task "Update Medication Schedule", but medication should continue to be taken as recommended. The medication reminders will resume the following day with your new medication.
• I have completed the monthly/6 month/yearly questionnaire which is relevant for review. What happens next?

  Your monthly questionnaire will be shared with your doctor alongside the results of your Blood Pressure Check-in. Your doctor will use this data to guide the review of your treatment plan.

  Do not wait for a response to the questionnaire if you are experiencing symptoms that are causing you pain, distress or causing you to stop taking your medication. Contact your doctor the usual way and report your symptoms directly.

• Should I mark medication "taken" on the Home tab or on the Medication tab?

  You can mark medication "taken" on either the Home tab or on the Medication tab. In each case the "Take Medication" task will be marked as completed and will move to the "Completed Tasks" section of the Home tab.
• What happens if I reject the recommendation from my doctor to move to the next step in my medication plan?

  When rejecting a medication step or change in medication plan, always provide clear feedback to your doctor in the comments box in the app. Your doctor will receive an alert that you have rejected the step and will be able to view your comments. Your doctor may contact you. In the meantime continue with the current step of your plan. If no changes are made to your plan you will start your next Blood Pressure Check-in as normal.

• What should I do if I experience symptoms or side-effects?

  If you experience symptoms or side-effects that are causing significant discomfort or causing you to stop taking your medication, contact your doctor in the usual way, especially if you have recently changed medications or increased doses. Symptoms should also be reported in the monthly questionnaire at the start of your medication week.

  Do not wait to report symptoms that are causing you pain, distress or causing you to stop taking your medication. Contact your doctor in the usual way and report your symptoms directly.
