Product Description
by Pharmd Bcgp Bartlett (Author)
Over 1/3 of older adults take 5 or more medications - at least one of which is unnecessary.
The result? Roughly 2 million adverse drug events requiring hospitalization every year.
Medications can keep us healthy and strong, and are often truly life-saving. Yet, as we age, the body naturally changes, along with its ability to absorb, metabolize, and eliminate medication.
Here's the truth about "aging conditions" such as forgetfulness, confusion, insomnia, weakness, and falling...
Many can be linked directly to overprescribing of medication.
Enter MedStrong by Dr. Donna Bartlett, 25-years practicing, board-certified geriatric pharmacist. Decades of witnessing the enormous suffering and compromised quality of life wreaked by overmedication has made her a leading authority on "deprescribing"-the evidence-based process of reducing, switching, or stopping medications.
Packed with countless real-world examples and extensive medical data and research-translated into "everyday" language-MedStrong is written for the healthcare consumer. You'll learn:
- The specific questions to ask of your healthcare provider in order to be a powerful advocate for yourself or your loved ones.
- The Medication Optimization Plan (MOP), a 5-step process for "cleaning up" and optimizing your medication list-implemented with your healthcare provider.
- How to minimize the "Cascade Effect" as when an additional medication is prescribed to address the side effects of a current one.
Ready to boost the quality of your life by taking only the meds you need, and in the right doses for you? Let MedStrong be your guide to becoming an educated healthcare consumer-one empowered to create a better, healthier you!
