Concerned about my grandmother's medication regimen

Hey everyone, I'm worried about my 96-year-old grandmother's medication routine. She's on quite a few prescriptions and I want to make sure they're all necessary and working well together. Has anyone dealt with managing medications for an elderly relative? Any tips on how to discuss this with her doctor or organize her pill schedule? I'm trying to balance respecting her independence while also looking out for her health and wellbeing. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Consider using a pill organizer and setting up reminders for medication times. Talk to her doctor about potential interactions and whether all prescriptions are still necessary. Involve your grandmother in the conversation to maintain her sense of independence and control over her health decisions.
