News brief: University program offers reviews of medications
Tuesday, October 20, 2009 - 12:10 AM
Nevada senior citizens curious about the actual effects of prescribed medications can now find out at The Medication Therapy Management program.
The program, offered through the Sanford Center for Aging at the University of Nevada, Reno, reviews a senior’s entire drug regimen for safety and effectiveness.
To qualify for the program, applicants need to be 60 years or older and be currently taking five prescription drugs or more. The review is offered statewide and is free to accepted applicants.
The review could possibly reduce the number of hospitalizations of seniors due to medication-related problems.
