Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a Pharmacist important to my overall health
Pharmacists are well-versed in pharmacology, which is the branch of medicine that focuses on the uses and effects of drugs. Pharmacists understand the therapeutic roles of drugs and drug side effects and interactions with other drugs. Your pharmacist can help monitor these factors and which foods and activities can have an effect on your medications. Your pharmacist is a great resource. For example, instead of calling your doctor for a mild skin irritation, a lot of pharmacists can make recommendations of over-the-counter (OTC) medications or topical creams to help heal the skin. Or a pharmacist can suggest which OTCs to take for a cold, headache, upset stomach and other types of non-serious conditions. Accessibility is so convenient now with pharmacists in grocery stores, drug stores and big retail stores. Some of these pharmacists can take your temperature and help determine if you have the flu or another common illness.
What if medications make me too sleepy?
Some prescription and over-the-counter medications can make you drowsy. There are a lot of medications that are sedating, and that can lead to issues with balance. Dosing schedules are important when trying to avoid daytime drowsiness caused by certain medications. This is a particular problem with seniors because drowsiness can increase unstable walking and cause falls. Also, people need to be cautioned about driving while taking a medication that might make them drowsy. It is always best to check with your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication, especially if you are adding an OTC medication, which may not be part of your medical record.
How does age increase the risk of medication side effects
There are medications that help memory, especially individuals with Alzheimer’s, but there are medications that can cloud memory and interfere with and exacerbate memory issues, and that’s something to watch for in the elderly. Some medications like certain sleep aids can leave people a little hazy, and they have a harder time waking up and standing up. If this happens, they may need talk to their doctor about reducing the medication’s dose.
Why do some medications affect my bathroom habits
Seniors tend to be on diuretics, the medications that help increase urine production. People are typically on diuretics if their blood pressure is high or they have congestive heart failure. A diuretic medication removes fluid from the body, which helps reduce blood pressure. But with a diuretic medication, you end up needing to deal with the side effect of frequent urination. So when you take a diuretic, you have to consider being home or being close to a bathroom. Often people will take a diuretic in the morning and stay at home. Diarrhea is another common side effect of many medications. Antacids with magnesium, antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) and chemotherapy medications are some of the most common medicines that induce loose, watery stools.
Does it matter what time of day you take medications
Yes, a dosing schedule is important, because every medication that you take has a specific dosing schedule — once a day, three times a day, etc. You should try to take your medication at the same time every day for the most beneficial effect of that medication. And if the medication is discontinued by the doctor, that needs to be noted and followed.
How long can medicine be used after expiration date
There is some controversy when it comes to expiration dates, but I do think people need to be cognizant of expiration dates. Certain medications like insulin, nitroglycerin and liquid antibiotics are most sensitive to expiration dates. If you have questions about the potency and effectiveness of medications you take, always check with your doctor or pharmacist. You especially don’t want the elderly taking medication that expired years ago.
