Brown Bag Clinic
to be held April 4

Contributed by
Tammile Toriglia

The Ministry of Health
Seniors’ Drug Action Program
has developed the Brown Bag
Clinic program to promote safe
medication use by encouraging
seniors to have their medication
regimen reviewed,

The clinics give seniors an op-
portunity to have their prescrip-
tion and non-prescription medi-
cations reviewed by a_ local
pharmacist, free of charge. Ina
one-on-one consultation, phar-
macists will counsel seniors on
possible adverse effects and give
seniors safety tips for medica-
tion use and storage.

“Changing physiology, the

type of medication and increas-_

ed usage put people over the age
of 65 at greater risk of adverse
drug reactions,’’ said Dr. Dun-

AM. Nason

can Robertson, medical consul-
tant to the Seniors Action Pro-
gram.

Several factors increase sen-
ior’s risk of adverse drug reac-
tions:

@ Seniors use more medicines
and therefore have a greater
chance of taking combinations
of drugs that could have harm-
ful effects

@ As people age, their bodies
react differently to certain medi-
cines

@ Seeing more than one physi-
cian for different illnesses in-
creases the chance for conflic-
ting drug regimens

@ Non-prescription medicines
often compound the problem
because people tend to forget to
mention them to their doctor or
think they are too mild to cause
a problem

@ Mixing alcohol and medica-
tion can often have devastating
effects on seniors |

For safe medication use, the
Seniors Drug Action Program
recommends the following:

@ Do not share or take
anyone else’s medicine

@ Donot ‘‘double up’”’ onthe
next dose if you miss one

@ Do not hoard unused
medicines--dispose them

@ Do not store several
prescription drugs in the same
container

@e Do not stop taking a

prescribed medication without
talking to your doctor

@ Do not stop a. newly
prescribed drug for minor side
effects--contact your doctor or
pharmacist

@ Do not take alcohol with
prescription drugs unless you
have discussed it with your doc-
tor
