Join geriatrician Paula Rochon for a discussion about medication awareness and continuum of prescription. As we enter the new year, many people focus on diet and exercise solutions, but overlooking medication management can have serious health consequences. With nearly 4 in 10 adults over 65 taking five or more of their medications, polypharmacy is a pressing concern. In this episode, Paula shares insight into the risks of polypharmacy, particularly for older adults, and reveals the prescribing cascade phenomenon. Learn how recognizing and addressing the prescription cascade can reduce unnecessary drug use and improve patient outcomes.
Paula Rochon is a geriatrician.
She discusses KevinMD's article, “Now is a Good Time to Re-Evaluate Your Medications with Your Clinician.”
