Risk of Drug Side Effects Rises as You Age
From the Consumer Reports website
Whether it’s an over-the-counter pain reliever or a prescription statin to lower cholesterol, medication has a troubling downside: the risk of side effects.

Though some are not serious and are likely to subside over time, some may be especially problematic for older adults.
