GUEST: Alan Lukazewski, Director of Pharmacy at Oakwood Village, Geriatric Pharmacist
Geriatric Pharmacist, Alan Lukazewski, discusses one of the major reasons seniors lose independence - Adverse Drug Events. While prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications treat and manage illnesses and save and extend lives, there are also potential negative consequences.
Unintended effects of drugs can lead to falls, memory loss, hospitalization, and in extreme cases, death. On this program, Alan Lukazewski describes the risks and how they can be countered.
