The Facts about Falls Risk....

Risk 6

Medication

Ask your doctor or pharmacist about the side effects of the drugs you or your loved one are taking. If you are on more than one medication, your doctor or pharmacist will be able to tell you if the drugs interact to increase your risk of falling. Try to keep all your prescriptions at one pharmacy.

Be sure that the doctor knows if you are taking any over-the-counter medications or supplements. But do not stop or start any medication without consulting with your doctor first.
