Patient Action: Talk with my care team about my medications and their effects on risks for falls.
CC Context: Your doctor or care team can review your medications to make sure you don’t have any medications making you unsteady. Medicines taken for insomnia and mood can make you drowsy, dizzy, or “loopy” which can cause unsteadiness. Sometimes these medications need to be changed, or dosage adjustments made to prevent the adverse effects that can lead to falls.
