Taking many drugs at the same time is dangerous

The President of the German Society of Internal Medicine (BDI) - Dr. Wolfgang Wesiack warned that elderly people with many diseases use drugs at the same time to easily cause a similar situation, even the opposite effect is very dangerous.

A study document shows that people aged 70 and older in Germany often have to use up to 6 drugs, most commonly diabetes, blood fat-lowering drugs and antihypertensive drugs.

If the patient takes all three types and drinks all three at the same time, this is an illegal mixture and will harm kidney function and this leads to hypertension.

Thus, not only does it not work, on the contrary, it also reacts to a dangerous level that most patients do not know.

The solution to this problem in treating many diseases at once, patients should have to decide which disease should be prioritized.

Unlike treatment for young people, physical problems in the elderly must be top priority. In the elderly, the drugs metabolize more slowly than the young.

This may increase the effects and side effects of drugs as well as the interaction of different substances, especially in those who cannot take care of themselves.

People in nursing homes who are at risk may be because they have been taking illegal drugs for many years.

In such cases and the elderly in general should be consulted and checked by a doctor about how to use drugs to avoid the unfortunate dangers that occur./.
