Harmful Combinations
|
|
If you take two or more medications, you should be aware of the potential for harmful drug interactions. Seniors have the most reason for concern. Nearly half of all Americans aged 65 years or older take at least five different medications per week. One in eight seniors takes ten or more medications weekly. Taking so many drugs presents too many potential opportunities for harmful interactions. And since there is no central clearinghouse of information on drug interactions or standardized reporting requirements, patient's best chances for averting problems rest with their pharmacists. By getting all your medications at one pharmacy, where your drug profile can be monitored, you can best avoid potentially harmful drug combinations. As your "hometown pharmacy", we take the time to be sure there are no harmful interactions with the medications your have been prescribed. Our pharmacists know you and your medical history and will take the time to answer questions pertaining to reactions. After
checking the information that comes with your prescription medication,
if you need further explanation feel free to call on us. You
can depend on us for a full selection of durable medical equipment.
