With increasing age, the lifestyle of every person changes. When younger the number of prescriptions per year is generally low but, with increasing age, many health-related issues arise. As a result number of prescriptions per year also rise. Sometimes it can be a challenge to make sure your parents or the elderly you look after are getting the best care. Older parents may need to take a lot of medicines every day for a chronic condition or need help in addressing their disease states such as diabetes, blood pressure etc.
Your pharmacist is a medical expert and can identify what management options are best for you. They can advise on which medicines may manage your symptoms and develop a plan for taking those medicines, including creating a Dose Administration Aid.
