Medications: Tips for Safely Managing Medications as We Age

Taking a number of medications is a typical experience as we age. However, age-related changes can increase the side-effects from medications and interactions may occur. Ths topic will provide an understanding what we can do to assure that we are safely managing medications in conjunction with our health care team.

The topic of this Drop-in, Medications, is the third in our exploration of the elements of Age-Friendly Health Care—care that is safe and based on what research shows are the most important things to pay attention to as we get older. This has been summarized as the 4Ms: what Matters, Medications, Mentation and Mobility. Previous CHPV Drop-ins have explored What Matters and Mobility. Mentation will be addressed in future programs.

Age-Friendly Health Care is health care that addresses your unique needs and wants. It can help you enjoy a better quality of life.
