More people than ever before are taking medications to control chronic (long-lasting) medical conditions. The number of prescription and non-prescription drugs continues to grow, and the number of conditions that can be treated with drugs is on the rise, too. Unfortunately, the potential for drug-related problems is also increasing.
Drug-related problems can come from:
1) Adverse events - unwanted effects from medications
2) Duplications - taking two or more drugs with the same effects
3) Interactions - reactions with other medications
This simple quiz will help you determine if you are at risk for drug-related problems. This quiz is only intended for persons who are currently taking at least one medication.
