Preventing Medication-Related Problems
Medications are one of the most important health care technologies for improving longevity and quality of life for older adults. Medications, including prescription drugs, over the counter medications and herbal products and dietary supplements are prescribed or selected for self-treatment with the intent to cure, improve symptoms or prevent diseases. Unfortunately, medications are a double-edged sword. Medications can also result in problems such as side effects, drug interactions and other undesired outcomes. Fortunately, many of these medication-related problems are predictable and therefore can be prevented.
