The Pillager

The Pillager When checking my medicine jars, my wife called me an old Pillager “No, that's a Danish Viking,” I said: “ I am a Polypharmacyphileger.” That's a person who takes five or more drugs a day Over the age of eighty you have a fifty-fifty chance to be that way. As we get older we collect more drug prescriptions Some are out of date and others in suspicion. If you take ten or more beware this terror There will be at least one prescription error Where symptoms are not recognized as a side effects. And a new drug is given to try and correct. The risk develops quickly if different doctors are involved Or a drug's interactions with another can't quickly be resolved. Antidepressants are the largest selling medication But side effects can cause falls, nausea, and constipation. Many of the problems are not caused by medical drugs Cognitive behavior therapy might work out the bugs. The answer? - Universal medical database transactions Of all patient prescription drugs and interactions.
