While about 85 percent of individuals older than 60 in the U.S. are taking at least one prescription medication, roughly 66 percent of those who visit their doctor are prescribed some kind of drug. Given such the prevalent use of prescription medications, it’s essential that patients are aware that many modern prescriptions have the potential to cause a range of mild to serious side effects – and, in the worst cases, wrongful death.
