Seniors can often simplify medication routines

By Allison Bond NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Miscommunication between healthcare providers and patient concerns over drug interactions lead to many seniors having an unnecessarily complicated medication regimen, a new study finds. With a very complicated routine, “it’s easier to forget medications,” said the lead author, Dr. Lee Lindquist, a geriatrician at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago. “If you consolidate the regimen, you can know that you’re done at the end of the day,” Lindquist told Reuters Health. The nurses asked participants how and when they took their medications in a given day.
