Older loved ones may depend on their medication to maintain good health and must take the correct dosage at the right time. Incorrectly taking medications may be harmful, or even lethal. So, what can you do to help a loved one?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Four Tips for Medication Safety for Seniors:<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #1. List Meds:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Construct and maintain a list of all the medications your loved one is taking. Update it regularly and note the reasons for, or symptoms required, before taking each medication. If you\u2019re not sure of its importance, make a call to their prescribing doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #2. Understand the Meds:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Know the purpose of each prescribed or over-the-counter medication and how it can be expected to treat or manage symptoms. Write down the possible side effects, too. Note any symptoms previously observed before the prescription and any side effects that occurred in the past. When symptoms improve or there are side effects, the treatment plan may need re-evaluation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #3. Be Aware of Medication Overages:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Keep on the watch for any signs that your aging loved one is becoming overmedicated, especially if he or she has diabetes or high blood pressure. Unfortunately, it\u2019s all too common that older adults receive higher doses than necessary. Don\u2019t hesitate to call for immediate medical help if there\u2019s a concern that someone has overdosed on their medication.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000\">Tip #4. Drug Interactions:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><span style=\"color: #000000\">Watch for any drug interactions, since so many elderly people are taking multiple prescription medications. You can search online for free drug interaction checkers or call the doctor or pharmacist for advice if you\u2019re not sure about drug safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> can relieve your medication safety concerns with caregiver services.
