As our seniors grow older day by day, their brain gradually declines. Most of the time, they would experience memory lapses causing them to have a hard time learning something new, forgetting information and appointments, and losing things from time to time, such as glasses or worst, medication reminders.
Aside from frequent memory lapses, more factors cause seniors not to take their medications religiously. Based on the study from Express Scripts since February 2011 in regards to medication adherence issues, they have identified major factors that make seniors adhere less to their medications, such as keeping up with multiple medications, procrastination, dealing with side effects, and cost issues.
Skipping a dose of medications and doctor appointments can have a major impact on senior’s health, may it be physical or cognitive. Some of the effects might include ineffectual treatment, triggering chemical changes in the brain, and it could lead to more complications.
