Carlton Pharmacy: Your Boomer Rx Guide!

As Baby Boomers enter their golden years, managing health and medications becomes more important than ever before. With age, the body changes, and so does the way it responds to medications. Carlton Pharmacy understands these changes and is dedicated to providing Boomers with tailored medication advice, ensuring safe and effective prescription use, along with valuable health tips.

Understanding the Importance of Age-Specific Medication Advice

As we get older, our bodies process drugs differently. Kidney function, liver function, and the digestive system slow down, which can affect how medications are metabolized. This means that the standard dosage for a young adult might be too much for someone in the Baby Boomer generation. Carlton Pharmacy is committed to helping Boomers understand these differences and how they affect their healthcare.

Medication Review and Management

At Carlton Pharmacy, our pharmacists offer one-on-one medication reviews. During these reviews, we:

• Evaluate your current prescriptions for any potential drug interactions.

• Check for medications that may be inappropriate due to age-related health issues.

• Discuss the timing and dosing of your medications to optimize their effectiveness.

• Suggest alternative medications if current prescriptions are causing side effects or are not achieving desired results.

Regular medication reviews are crucial to prevent adverse drug events and to ensure that each medication you take is still the best choice for your health.

Health Tips for Baby Boomers

• Stay Active: Regular exercise can help keep the body strong and absorb medications more effectively.

• Balanced Diet: A diet rich in vitamins and minerals supports overall health and can help mitigate medication side effects.

• Regular Checkups: Keep up with doctor appointments and health screenings suitable for your age group.

• Stay Informed: Keep track of any new recommendations or changes in guidelines for medications.

• Hydration: As some medications can lead to dehydration, it's essential to drink plenty of water.
