Seniors make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, but consume about 33 percent of all prescription drugs. In addition, they take many over-the counter peparations and home remedies. A senior can become the victim of drug misuse and abuse due to mixing medications with other prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, alcohol, and even certain foods. Sometimes, they are confused over directions and forgetful about their medication schedule. Some cannot afford to fill their prescriptions at all or stretch out their medications to last longer. Drug misuse can result in higher health care costs, suffering, and even death for many seniors.
