I just read a Wall Street Journal article about how many seniors in the U.S. are taking multiple medications from multiple providers, often without anyone regularly reviewing the full picture.
This is exactly where an independent pharmacist can help.
Doctors prescribe medications to treat specific conditions, but the healthcare system isn’t set up for someone to consistently step back, look at all medications together over time, and ask:
• Are these all still needed?
• Are there interactions or side effects?
• Could these medications be contributing to falls, confusion, or fatigue?
That’s the gap I help fill; supporting seniors and caregivers by reviewing medications as a whole and helping make them safer, simpler, and easier to manage.
