A June study from the Centers fr
Disease Control and Prevention s
about 60% of adults are taking t
least one prescription medicati.
And 36% of adults report taking three
or more prescription medication.
Norton Healthcare's Dr.
Christina Bright says patients e
being overprescribed medications
in the past because healthcare
providers didn't have systems tt
communicate it with each other.
A patient could see two differet
doctors and two different systems and
get prescribed multiple medicat,
some they might not even need.
Doctors now have electronic health records.
That means anytime a patient is
in a hospital or emergency room,
the medications get flagged on their charts.
We went through a period of
time where we were getting
all these medications that could
treat all these different thing.
And so we decided to say, well,
instead of having your acid
reflux or instead of, you know,
having an occasional ache and p,
let's take this so you don't ever have it.
And life is perfect.
Life isn't perfect.
And we quickly realized
everything you put in your body.
Could cause potential side effect The
more medicines you put in your ,
not only could they cause a side effect,
they can interact with each oth.
Doctors across the nation are
now working to de prescribe
certain medication from patient.
Doctor Bright says some of the
most commonly over prescribed
medications are antihistamines r
allergies or asthma medications.
Dr. Bright also says if you
have questions about any of
the medications you're taking,
make sure to speak with your physician.
