Quick Facts: Older Adults and Medication Use:
* Older adults comprise 13 percent of the population, but account for 34 percent of all prescription medicine use and 30 percent of all over-the-counter (OTC) drug use.
* Most older adults — 4 out of 5 — live with one or more chronic conditions.
* Many take multiple medicines at the same time. A recent survey of 17,000 Medicare beneficiaries found that 2 out of 5 patients reported taking five or more prescription medicines.
* Older adults are at increased risk of serious adverse drug events, including falls, depression, confusion, hallucinations and malnutrition, which are an important cause of illness, hospitalization and death among these patients.
* Drug-related complications have been attributed to the use of multiple medicines and associated drug interactions, age-related changes, human error and poor medical management (e.g., incorrect medicines prescribed, inappropriate doses, lack of communication and monitoring).
* Almost 40% of seniors are unable to read prescription label, and 67% are unable to understand information given to them.
Being of age 65 or older, it can be challenging
* to keep track of multiple medications
* getting confused about how and when to take medicines and
* even stop taking medication once patients start feeling better
* elderly patients often have to deal with drug side effects too
