As we get older, more and more diseases will be experienced such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, dementia and osteoarthritis. This means we will be taking a lot of medications at one time.

The more medication you take, the higher the risk of getting dangerous side effects, especially for seniors. This condition can affect how the medicines (drugs)  are absorbed, metabolized, or eliminated. Common side effects are frequent dizziness, lethargy, mental confusion, sleep problems, appetite disturbances and dehydration.

The use of drugs independently can complicate and affect the interaction and effectiveness of prescription drugs. Taking too much medication can also cause the condition of the disease to not be completely treated. This is because seniors respond differently to medication than younger people so they have to be more careful.

Do not be quick to believe what is told or seen without assurance from a doctor or specialist. Among the things that can be done to make sure you do not take the medicine excessively is to check the information about the medicine before buying. Make sure you get advice from a doctor, know the function of the medicine, the refill date and the expiration date before buying.

Instead of buying medicines that consist of harmful chemicals, it is better to consume traditional medicines from plants which are effective in helping to improve your level of internal health. If you want to know, the Tongkat Ali extract has a high content of antioxidants to help filter and remove all toxic waste caused by drugs in the body. One study has proven the ability of Tongkat Ali is to reduce the toxic effects in the body caused by excessive paracetamol. 

In conclusion, we must be careful in taking medications. Never buy and consume medicines or supplements that may have  doubtful ingredients and are not advised by a doctor. We need to always be sensitive to what is put into our bodies for good health. In this golden age, we must be more obedient to take care of our health in order to enjoy the desired quality of life.
