The Aging Workforce and Prescription Cascades:  A Prescription for Disaster.

Prescription cascades occur when side effects of one medication are treated by another medication.  Since all medications cause side effects, this common approach leads to overutilization of drugs.  The most common categories of patients to experience this phenomenon are both aging patients and injured workers.  Therefore, as more seniors remain in the workforce, the risk of prescription cascades increases.  And as additional drugs are prescribed for an injury it becomes clear that the primary cause of the patient’s complaints are the drugs they are taking.  This session outlines how to effectively decrease both their symptoms and the number of drugs they need.
