Live Well with Safe Medication Use (Farsi/English)

Understand how medications change as you age

As we age, our bodies process medicines differently. A dose that once worked well may now be too strong or less effective. This practical workshop explains why those changes happen and outlines actions you and your health-care provider can consider so your current medications match your body’s needs. The session is delivered in Farsi and English to make information clear and accessible.

What you’ll learn

• Why ageing affects medications: how body changes can alter effectiveness and side effects.
• Partnering with your provider: ways to discuss dose, timing, and whether any medicines might be adjusted or stopped.
• Medication reviews: when and how to review your medicines to keep them safe and useful.
• Noticing concerns: what to pay attention to and when to seek advice.

Presented by a speaker from the Seniors’ Health & Wellness Institute (COSCO).
