As we age, it’s important to be aware of the possibility of medication interactions and other safety concerns when taking multiple medications. Many seniors may still be taking over-the-counter medications or supplements in addition to their prescription drugs. Here are some tips to help ensure your senior loved one stays safe while taking medication:

• Always ask your doctor which medications can be taken together and why.
• Check with your pharmacist before giving your senior loved one any new medication or supplement, especially if they have other health conditions like heart disease or diabetes.
• Make sure you’re familiar with all of your senior loved one’s medical conditions before making any changes in their treatment plan (including switching from one drug to another).
• Keep an eye out for side effects that might require a change in dosage or discontinuation of a particular drug altogether (like nausea, dizziness, weight loss/gain).
