Medication Side Effects
Are Your Meds Making You Sick or are the Meds Your Parents take Making Them Ill?
98% of people have some issues with their medication. Most of these can be resolved. Meds include those prescribed (often from different doctors), vitamins, supplements and natural remedies. Most people can really benefit from a thorough consultation with a pharmacist. For seniors, a pharmacist that specializes in geriatric pharmacy is particularly important as older bodies process medication, supplements and vitamins differently. The time of day you take medication, the other medication or vitamins you take at the same time, when and what you eat relative to the time you take the medication, timed release; all these factors can result in nullification of the impact of the medication and unpleasant and sometimes harmful side effects.
