Written by mmLearn.org | March 5, 2015

An important part of being a senior caregiver is understanding the many available medications for elderly patients, including over-the-counter (OTC) ones. This can be challenging, as most people take OTC drugs and supplements without a second thought. Other times, we stand before an array of different medicines and are left with questions: Which one is best for headaches? What is the difference among anti-inflammatory medications? What should elders steer clear of? In this second installment of our two-part video series, we answer these questions to help you better manage medications for elderly patients and know the perks and pitfalls of powerful OTC drugs.
