When we get older, our bodies cease to produce all the necessary vitamins and minerals to maintain our health. It’s common for older people to need to take medication to maintain their body’s normal functions. Taking more medication as you grow older is completely normal, but if the medication isn’t taken on a proper schedule, it can be harmful. It’s important to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, even if it’s just standard vitamins or painkillers.
Maintaining a medication schedule is essential for all patients, young and old, on medication. It’s important that you get the correct dosage to ensure your condition doesn’t worsen and the medication is having the full benefit. The reason new diseases and illnesses develop is often because people don’t take medication on schedule, and the bacteria mutates into something different that isn’t affected by the same medicine.
