Due to old age and weakened immune system, seniors are at high risk of contracting mild to chronic illnesses which may require taking several medications a day. However, because of forgetfulness or confusion, they are susceptible to medication errors. This may result to harmful and adverse effects on their health. Thus, learning how to use medications safely is important for older adults.
Here are some useful tips to remember:
- Take your prescribed medications as provided by your healthcare professional
- Organize your medications using pill boxes and throw away expired ones
- Keep a list of all your medications including the dosage and time of intake
