Davie FAQs for Medication Management
What is PDMP?
Florida's prescription drug monitoring program. We check it before controlled substances.

Can you prescribe if I am traveling?
Only if you are physically in a state where we are licensed — currently Florida telehealth.
Do you work with my therapist?
With consent, yes. Medication does not replace psychotherapy when both are indicated.

Weight, A1c, lipids, and neurologic side effects are part of the protocol.
