Be aware of drug ads that market sickness

 

Q: My mom takes ads on television for drugs too seriously. She thinks that

if her doctor doesn't give her a prescription for whatever ails her, then

she should see another doctor. How can I convince her otherwise?

 

A: One of the most dangerous problems that older adults face is how

multiple drugs interact with each other. One quarter of people over 60

take at least three drugs a day. The older they are, the more drugs they

take. The more drugs they take, the greater the risk for an adverse

reaction that could put them right in the hospital.

A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported

that drug reactions kill an estimated 100,000 people a year in U.S.

hospitals. The researchers also claim that another 2.1 million are injured

by adverse reactions.
