P.E.I. doctor warns about dangers of overmedication

CBC News included a UBC study in an article about a Prince Edward Island seniors group who took part in a session warning about the possible dangers of prescription medications.

A doctor spoke to the seniors group after a study, published by UBC’s school of population and public health, found that in 2013, 37 per cent of seniors filled prescriptions for medications that could be risky for people over the age of 65.
