Medication Management
We are very fortunate today to have modern medicines to help treat many conditions that older adults experience.
However, some side effects of our medicines could cause of loss of balance and falling. Administering medication isn't always as easy as swallowing a pill. It may involve many steps and informed decisions every day.
To educate the public on this important topic, F1RST has pharmacists available to conduct 30 minute question and answer sessions for older adults on the importance of Medication Management.
For more information or to set up a Medication Management presentation, call us at (402)898-7358 or e-mail the F1RST Program Manager.
