Meds, Meds, Meds: Managing Your Medications

Around 20% of adults between ages 40 and 79 are taking five or more prescription drugs—and for older adults, the numbers are likely even higher. Our relationship to medication can change over the years: our bodies take longer to clear them from our system, and in some cases, side affects from medications lead to even more prescriptions!

On this episode of Aging Forward, we talk with clinical pharmacist Tim Habermann about supplements, high costs of medication, and proactive approaches to medication management.
