Managing Medication
Use Medication Wisely.
- Ask your pharmacist or primary health care provider about possible side effects of prescription or over-the-counter medication.
- Read directions carefully so you're aware of potential reactions with other medications.
- If your medication causes dizziness or sleepiness, adjust your activities so you aren't at risk of falling.
- Don't mix alcohol and medications. Alone or in combination with drugs, alcohol can cause falls.
