Risky Combinations of Medications

1. One in three adults age 57 to 85 take at least
   five prescription drugs
2. Mix of prescriptions, over-the-counters and
   diet supplements could be dangerous
3. 175,000 older adults visit the ER every year
   because of adverse drug events
4. Women are more likely to take prescription
   drugs and dietary supplements

In a recent study reviewed by CNN and Yahoo News US researchers found nearly one out of every 25 people aged 57 to 85 took dangerous combinations of drugs with the potential for serious interactions, and mixing of medications with non-prescription drugs are the culprit more than half of the time.

"The public has an awareness that two prescription medications used together might be dangerous," said study author Stacy Tessler Lindau of the University of Chicago Medical Center.

"But what people don't fully appreciate is that non-prescription drugs can interact with prescription drugs and even other non-prescription drugs."


If prescription drugs are so good, where are all the healthy drug takers?

“Drug companies claim that pharmaceuticals can do wonders for people: lower their cholesterol, end clinical depression, reverse osteoporosis, eliminate allergies, calm your children and many other similar promises. But if prescription drugs are so good for people, where are all the healthy medicated customers? “

There aren't any to speak of. There's nobody taking twelve prescriptions that have a clean bill of health. In fact, the more prescriptions a person takes, the worse their overall health. And if you approach the healthiest people you can find in a local fitness center and ask what prescription drugs they're taking in order to be so healthy, they'll give you a rather confused look: they don't take prescription drugs!
