Poisonings don’t just happen to children. Senior adults are one of the fastest growing groups of individuals experiencing accidental medication poisonings. Some of the most common medication mistakes include:
- taking the wrong medication for the time of day.
- taking more of a medication than directed.
- taking a spouse’s medication.
- taking a medication in a way it was not intended (like swallowing a medicine meant for inhalation).
