As you age, managing your health often means managing multiple medications, for blood pressure, diabetes, heart health, and more. But after 65, forgetting a dose or accidentally taking an extra pill can lead to serious side effects, hospital visits, or even life-threatening complications. Many seniors take 4–5 medicines daily, so confusion is common. Some medications can interact with each other, making timing crucial. Missed doses can cause sudden spikes or drops in blood pressure, blood sugar, or heart rate. Here are a few simple ways to stay on track: * Use pillboxes or labeled organizers * Set alarms or phone reminders * Ask your doctor or caregiver to review your medications regularly
