Mother is 82- diagnosed with moderate dementia - takes several meds - she appears to be sedated and is depressed most of the time - I'm concerned that the meds aren't effective and she may be too heavily sedated... geratric physician and primary physician have conflicting thoughts...suggestions please
Also, when an elderly person take many different medications, there is a risk that drugs may be negatively interacting with each other and causing side effects. Make sure you get her prespcriptions filled at only pharmacy. Then, consult with the pharmacist on any interactions that may be occurring.
