Today's sciences have gifted us with new medications by utilizing the newest technologies. Many of those medicines have brought somewhat 'miraculous' easement of pains and aches that illnesses have caused individuals throughout the past generations. We are thankful for all the relief new medications have brought us. However, there can be a danger associated with the influx of those medications, especially those suffering from multiple illnesses or those whom have difficulty maintaining their medicine regimine.
When a person has one or more illnesses, they will usually be prescribed multiple medications. Even the most clear-minded people stand the chance of mixing the medications themselves or incorrectly setting the the medication dispensing times. This could in turn cause medications to work against the others, while deleting the health benefits originally intended. At the worst, the medication usage could result in more illnesses or death.
Some seniors are at a higher risk for medication mixing, as dementia may set in. Memory loss is a sign of dementia. When a senior is living alone at home, they tend to simply forget they may have taken a medication and take another of the same medication. On the other hand, they may not take a certain medication at all. This causes greatly unwanted results!
