Is Your Loved One's Medication List Working for Them?
Sometimes the problem isn’t another medication. It may be the medications they are already taking.
Older adults often receive care from multiple providers.
A primary care provider may prescribe one medication. A cardiologist may prescribe another. A neurologist may add another. A hospital may add two more. Then an over-the-counter medication or supplement is added at home.
Before you know it, the medication list has grown. And sometimes no one has had the opportunity to sit down and look at everything together.
Ask Yourself:
☐ Does my loved one take five or more medications?
☐ Do they see several doctors or specialists?
☐ Have they recently been hospitalized or visited the emergency department?
☐ Has anyone recently complained of dizziness, weakness, confusion or excessive sleepiness?
☐ Have they had a recent fall?
☐ Are they taking medications that were prescribed months or years ago?
☐ Do they use over-the-counter medications or supplements?
☐ Are there medications in the home that no one is sure they should still be taking?
☐ Has a doctor told them to stop a medication, but it is still on the medication list or still being taken?
☐ Are you the caregiver, and are you unsure whether your loved one’s medication list is accurate?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, a medication optimization review may be appropriate.

Geriatric Medication Optimization & Safety Review

Geriatric Medication Optimization & Safety Review
One patient. One complete medication picture. One coordinated plan.
As we age, medications can quickly accumulate. Prescriptions from primary care providers and specialists, hospital discharge medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements can create a complicated medication regimen.
Our Geriatric Medication Optimization & Safety Review helps older adults and their families understand the complete medication picture and identify potential safety concerns.
