Adults ages 65+: Your medication could be the reason for your new
medical condition; read this eye-opening guide to become an expert
on what medications you take! We have a medication problem in
America. It is marked not only by excessive use of medications, but
by errors in how they are prescribed, monitored, and taken. An
estimated nineteen million adults age sixty-five and older take
five or more medications daily. These individuals and family
caregivers know the frustrations of lengthy medication lists, high
drug costs, and frequent questions about the need and value of
those medications. All too often, an unrecognized adverse drug
effect is mistaken for a new medical condition, or worse, a symptom
of getting older. But who stops to question the medications? Maybe
It’s Your Medications tackles these problems by providing
information, insider tips, and strategies that empower patients and
caregivers to have important conversations about their prescription
and nonprescription drugs. This book addresses the questions
consumers want to ask about their medications and brings to light
other questions they should be asking but may not know how. It is
everyone’s go-to guide on how to use medications safely on the
journey to healthy aging. Â Dr. Hedva Barenholtz Levy,
PharmD, is a geriatric specialist and founder of a unique senior
care practice of over 25 years working with patients in their
homes. She is an educator and leader in geriatric pharmacy and a
dual board-certified specialist. Dr. Levy applies her decades of
experience to guide the reader in how to become an active
participant on their healthcare team and prevent unintended errors
and medication-related problems. Â
