Maybe It's Your Medication! - Interview With Dr. Hedva Levy

We have a medication problem in America. It is marked not only by excessive use of medications but by errors in prescribing, monitoring, and taking them. An estimated nineteen million adults age sixty-five and older take five or more medications daily. These individuals and family caregivers know the frustrations of lengthy medication lists, high drug costs, and frequent questions about the need and value of those medications. An unrecognized adverse drug effect is often mistaken for a new medical condition or, worse, a symptom of aging. But who stops to question the medications? Dr. Hedra Barenholtz-Levy is a geriatric specialist and founder of a unique senior care practice of over 25 years working with patients in their homes. She is an educator and leader in old pharmacy, a dual board-certified specialist, and the author of the popular book "Maybe It's Your Medication."
