Prevent Falling: Watch Out for Medication Side Effects
Age can affect the way some medications work in your body, so if you have been taking any over-the-counter medications for a while, it?s important to tell your health care provider. He or she will be able to tell you if they are still safe for you to take.
·Look out for drugs that have side effects including drowsiness(困倦). These side effects can increase your risk of falling. This is especially important with over-the-counter cold and flu medications, which can often increase drowsiness.
·And don?t forget herbal remedies(草药). Some remedies increase sleepiness and many react with other types of medication, which could increase your risk of falling down. Be sure to check with your health care provider before trying new medication.
