It is marked not only by excessive use of medications, but by errors in how they are prescribed, monitored, and taken. An estimated nineteen million adults age sixty-five and older take five or more medications daily. These individuals and family caregivers know the frustrations of lengthy medication lists, high drug costs, and frequent questions about the need and value of those medications. All too often, an unrecognized adverse drug effect is mistaken for a new medical condition, or worse, a symptom of getting older. But who stops to question the medications?
