Managing Many Medicines: How to Stop Taking Some Safely.

Many people take a lot of pills every day. This is common for people of all ages, but especially older people. Sometimes, taking many pills can cause problems because of side effects or interactions between medicines.

As we age, our bodies change and might not handle medicines the same way. This means that medicines we took for a long time might start causing problems.

If you are worried about the number of pills you take, talk to your doctor or pharmacist. They can help you review your medicines and see if any can be stopped or reduced.

It's important to tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, even over-the-counter ones. Keep a list of all your medicines and why you take them.

Reducing your medicines can be difficult, but it can also have great benefits. Some people feel much better after stopping or reducing their medications.
