Medi Care
Medicine is not a science; it is empiricism founded on a network of blunders.
Some medications can cause side effects that mimic other health problems occurring in older adults, such as memory difficulties, dizziness and sleepiness. Ask your healthcare provider if any new health problems you are experiencing could be due to your medications.
Be sure to read the information you were provided to find specific storage instructions for your medicine. Certain medicines need to be stored in the refrigerator, while others cannot be exposed to high temperatures.
Proper storage is one way to help make sure your medicines remain safe and effective. Medicines that are not stored properly may not work as well or may cause harm, even if they are not expired.
Take your medicine regularly and according to your health care provider's instructions. If you're having bothersome side effects or have other questions, talk to your provider.
Before you treat a man with a condition, know that not all cures can heal all people. For the chemistry that works on one patient may not work for the next, because even medicine has its own conditions.
