Did you know that one in three Americans who use prescription medications is an older adult? Older adults are also more likely to take multiple medications prescribed by several health care providers, which puts older adults at increased risk for reactions, such as falls, depression, confusion and malnutrition. Research has also shown that three out of five older adults take their prescriptions improperly, including skipping doses, not filling prescriptions and not following the prescriber's directions.

As you age, medication safety becomes more important.
