The use and impact of prescription and non-prescription medication are growing concerns for many mature adults.  Numerous questions arise as your list of medication grows over the years.  Fortunately, there is a program that is designed to answer medication –related questions and relieve your concerns.  Senior MEDS was developed to enhance the quality of life of adults 55 and over.  This program offers professional medication consultation and ongoing health education. Senor MEDS has helped many mature adults learn to properly manage their medication and enhance their health.  This program works collaboratively with local senior centers and other places senior gather to provide an environment where mature adults can meet one-on-one with volunteer registered pharmacists to confidentially review and discuss their medication.  Senior MEDS sessions are provided at no cost.  They are pre-planned and provided locally on a regular basis.  These sessions include educational presentations, which provide useful information on a variety of subjects affecting daily living, as well as registered pharmacists who are on-site for individual, confidential consultations.  While you wait to see the pharmacist for your personal review, program sponsors provide live and videotaped educational programming and educational literature.  During your confidential session, the registered pharmacist will complete a detailed record of your medications.  He/she will answer your questions, explain potential problems with your medication combination and refer you back to your physician(s) and /or pharmacist(s) for future coordination and consultation.
