Are some common medicines worth a closer look after age 60? In this video, we examine 5 commonly used medication categories that may have important cardiovascular considerations for older adults—including decongestants, testosterone therapy, atypical antipsychotics, oral corticosteroids, and NSAIDs such as diclofenac.
We explain how these medicines may affect blood pressure, blood vessels, bleeding risk, or cardiovascular health, what warning signs and medication interactions to understand, and what questions you should ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Important: Never stop or change a prescribed medication on your own. Your personal benefits and risks depend on your medical history, diagnosis, dose, duration of treatment, and other medicines you take.
