Seniors

Poisonings don’t only happen to children. Older adults are one of the fastest growing groups of individuals experiencing accidental medication poisonings. Some of the most common medication mistakes include:
  • taking the wrong medication for the time of day.
  • taking more medication than directed.
  • taking a spouse’s medication.
  • taking a medication in a way it was not intended (like swallowing a medicine meant for inhalation).
