Medication Management-

Addresses major gaps in care that leave older adults at risk for adverse medication effects, providing unique information not typically available to prescribers, such as adverse effects, patients' use of over-the-counter medications, duplications resulting from multiple prescribers or hospital stays, and adherence problems.


These are Red Flags;

  • Unnecessary therapeutic duplication (e.g., generic and brand name of same drug)
  • Falls, dizziness, or confusion possibly caused by inappropriate psychotropic drugs (e.g., tranquilizers, antidepressants, sleep aids, diphenhydramine)
  • Questionable memory or functional deficits
  • Cardiovascular medication problems related to high blood pressure, dizziness, low blood pressure or low pulse.
  • Inappropriate use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs) in those with risk factors for peptic ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding.
