Polypharmacy can increase the risk of falls, confusion, and ER visits, especially in older adults.

At GeriatRx, we specialize in medication reviews that prioritize safety, simplicity, and what matters most.

Let’s talk about deprescribing, because more isn’t always better.

You’re not alone if you take 5 or more medications a day, most older adults do.
The truth is, many of those meds were meant to be temporary.

By August, we often see caregivers juggling complex schedules and older adults feeling quietly overwhelmed.

At GeriatRx, we specialize in deprescribing, safely reducing or stopping medications that may no longer be needed. Let’s talk about what’s necessary, what’s not, and what a simpler routine could look like.

Most people feel relief just knowing they have options.

August heat can hit harder, especially for older adults. Some medications may affect how the body handles high temperatures. If you or a loved one feels “off,” more tired, or dizzy, it might be more than just the weather. Have questions? Talk to your doctor.

When side effects start to look like new diagnoses…
It’s time to pause and take a closer look.

Far too often, older adults report dizziness, fatigue, confusion, or new pain. Instead of reviewing their current medications, they’re handed another prescription.

This is how medication cascades begin and it’s one of the leading causes of unnecessary hospital visits and diminished quality of life. At GeriatRx, we specialize in breaking that cycle.

Our pharmacist-led reviews uncover what’s really going on by asking:

Are the symptoms coming from the condition or the medication?
⚫️ Is every drug still necessary, effective, and safe?
⚫️ Can we deprescribe to help the patient feel better with less?

If you're a caregiver, provider, or senior questioning the true cause of persistent symptoms, this is your sign to schedule a review.

Because no one should suffer from a problem their doctor never intended to cause.

National Parents’ Day is a time to celebrate the caregivers, protectors, and role models who shaped us.

At GeriatRx, we know that caring for aging parents comes with questions, especially around medications. We’re here to help you navigate that journey with clarity and compassion.

Because love looks like asking the hard questions and ensuring they get the right care at the right time.

Aging doesn’t come with a manual, but medication support can.

At GeriatRx, we look beyond the prescription list. We review every medication in the context of the person taking it, checking for drug interactions, duplicate therapies, outdated prescriptions, and side effects that might be mistaken for aging itself.

Our clinical pharmacists partner with families and providers to simplify complex regimens and make sure every medication has a purpose.

The goal? A plan that’s safe, personalized, and aligned with what matters most: independence, clarity, and quality of life.

Because better care starts with better questions. and the right guide by your side.

🍦 Sweet Treat, Bitter Side Effects?

Have you ever thought about how medications might be affecting your loved one’s appetite, taste, or even their enjoyment of simple pleasures like ice cream?

Some medications can dull taste buds, cause dry mouth, or lead to digestive issues that make favorite foods less appealing.

In older adults, this can contribute to poor nutrition, weight loss, and even isolation.

At GeriatRx, we believe quality of life includes enjoying the little things. If something feels “off,” it might not just be aging, it could be the medications.

Let’s talk about it. Because no one should lose their taste for joy.
