Does your car benefit from an annual service?
In the same way, everyone can benefit from an annual review after the age of 65.
At Age Right, we specialise in reviewing your medical conditions and current medications to ensure you are taking the right combination and right dosage for your body. Sometimes medications are continued longer than they should be. In our busy lives we may simply continue with the norm rather than taking the time to review what we are doing and check that it is still in our best interest. As the body ages our organs can become less effective at removing drugs from our system. Annual medication reviews are useful to ensure that the medication you are taking is the best medication for you and in the correct dose for you.
A comprehensive review will also:
- Assess your risk of developing:
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Osteoporosis
- Put in place a preventative medicine program to keep you healthy
- Assess your falls risk and bone health
- Evaluate your Memory and consider any benefit from treatment
- Review your independence with daily tasks
- Check your vaccination history and recommend any annual vaccinations
