The Drugs No Senior Should Ever Take

Drug alternatives from Bottom Line Daily Health News

The Harvard Medical School identified 20 drugs too dangerous for senior citizens to take. The HMS report merited a government response to investigate.  The Government Accounting Office found out that 17% of the seniors take these dangerous drugs.   The list has grown from 20 to several dozens more.

What are some of these dangerous drugs (they should require narcotics prescription being dangerous drugs.!!)

1.  Statins (can cause Alzheimer's, loss of memory)

2.  Anti diabetic drugs (some can cause heart failure)

3.  NSAID (some brand can cause heart attack)

4.  triptans for migraine

5. diuretic (die you retics?) strips body of potassium

6.  blood thinners can actually cause heart attack

There are alternatives for these dangerous drugs and there are natural cures
