Healthcare for Seniors

Aging patients are often prescribed medications by a number of doctors and specialists, but all too often no one doctor knows the number or extent of the medications being taken. If that same patient consumes a variety of over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements, the consequences could be adverse reactions, hospitalization or even death. Amanda Saltzman, PharmD, director of the Medical Plaza Pharmacy, discusses medications and the aging patient.
