Medication Safety Tips for Seniors

As we grow older, our bodies change — and so does the way we respond to medications. Many seniors take multiple prescriptions for different conditions, increasing the risk of drug interactions, missed doses, and side effects that can affect balance, mood, or memory.

To stay safe and healthy:

• Use blister packs or pouch packaging to organize medications
• Schedule regular medication reviews to ensure each prescription is still needed
• Keep an updated medication list and share it with your doctor or caregiver
• Ask your pharmacist about possible side effects or drug interactions

Proper medication management not only improves health outcomes but also supports independence and overall well-being.
