Are your medications increasing your fall risk?

Many medications can cause side effects or interact with each other, raising fall risk. Common side effects include dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision, confusion, increased urinary frequency, and blood pressure changes.
Tell your healthcare team about all the medications you’re taking to reduce your risk and prevent falls.
Please visit the MCFPC website, https://www.mcfpc.net/tipofthemonth, for practical tips, exercise videos, resources, and more.
