Benefits Our In-Home Caregivers Bring to Durham, NC, and the Surrounding Areas for Elderly People Always Keep Medications on Hand
Seniors in Durham and the surrounding Person County are turning to a variety of prescription medications more and more to help with post-operative recovery, chronic diseases, and general health maintenance. If your older loved one is already taking their medication, they might have particular instructions on how or when to do so. The pharmaceutical instructions will state whether the pill should be taken with food, drink, or on an empty stomach and at what time of day (morning, afternoon, or before bed). Usually, medicine has no impact unless it is in a proper and constant dosage.
But depending on dementia or other memory diseases or just from the normal aging process, your loved one can find it challenging to remember to take their prescription at the advised intervals. Some people may find it difficult to determine how much medication to take or to remember to take at the recommended times. These elements can lower the effectiveness of their prescription or lead to medical issues.
