SUMMARY:Medications as We Age: Information to Support Caregiving
DESCRIPTION:Are you caregiving for someone who takes medications? Have you ever wondered if each of their medications is still right for them? Medications can offer significant benefits\, but as we age\, our bodies may become more sensitive to their effects. Some medications that were once helpful might no longer be necessary or could even cause harm. \nJoin us for an informative session hosted by the Canadian Medication Appropriateness and Deprescribing Network. This session will provide valuable insights and practical tips to help you ensure that your care recipient’s medications are still needed and beneficial. \nIn this presentation\, we will explore: \n\nHow aging can increase sensitivity to medications\nThe importance of regular “medication check-ups”\, and how to collaborate with healthcare professionals to prevent harmful side effects\nEssential questions to ask about your care recipient’s medication\n\nThe Canadian Medication Appropriateness and Deprescribing Network is a collaborative group of individuals with lived experience\, clinicians\, educators\, policymakers\, and researchers. They work together to create\, share\, and apply information that promotes the safe and appropriate use of medications for all Canadians. \nDisclaimer: Please note that the information provided in this webinar is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice. Always consult with a healthcare professional before making any changes to your care recipient’s medications.
