Managing multiple medications and adhering to proper dosage schedules can be challenging for people of all ages, especially for seniors and those with chronic conditions.

The Importance of Medication Management
Proper medication management is crucial for several reasons:
1. Preventing adverse drug interactions: Some medications can interact with each other or with certain foods, leading to unwanted side effects or reduced effectiveness.
2. Ensuring medication effectiveness: Taking medications as prescribed is essential for managing chronic conditions and maintaining overall health.
3. Avoiding over- or under-medication: Individuals may accidentally take too much or too little of a medication, which can have serious consequences.
