Older Americans are hospitalized every day due to severe side effects from their meds, and many will die prematurely as a result. Pharmacy researcher @dmjacobs18 explains how to keep your loved ones (and yourself) safe from medication-related harm. https://t.co/RzQEgQ5iwJ

[Team Alice | University at Buffalo @TeamAlice_UB]

If you are prescribed a medication on this list, it is important to ask your doctor about your concerns about the risks and ask about alternative, safer treatments. Never stop taking a medication without first consulting #MedicationSafety
