Help! My Mother Is On Drugs! (Part 2) – TO SEE THIS VIDEO IN FULL GO TO mmLearn.org Presenter: Carrie Allen, PharmD, CGP Older adults and their caregivers must be aware of prescriptive and non-prescriptive medications because the results can be deadly. Let’s just begin with Tylenol and possible side effects. Then consider high blood pressure medication, psychotropic drugs, herbal supplements and over the counter drugs. Carrie Allen, who specializes in geriatric pharmacy, will help older adults and caregivers understand polypharmacy and health. Please submit specific questions in advance and don’t miss this very important Ask the Geriatrician session. Ask the Geriatrician was developed to address the shortage of geriatricians available to meet with older adults and their caregivers in the United States. Geriatricians specialize in preventing and treating health issues in adults ages 65 plus, yet many people never have the opportunity to speak with one. Ask the Geriatrician is a recurring monthly program shown live and later by demand. The first webcast is March 3 at 10:30 am Future Ask the Geriatrician webcasts are scheduled for the fourth Thursday of every month at 10:30 am CST. Dates and times are subject to change and any updates will be posted on mmLearn.org.
