    At this time, the doctor should be asked to explain in detail the purpose and importance of taking the medicine, and what the consequences of not taking the medicine will be.

    Clause. Second, the inspection is poor***. The refusal of the elderly to take medicine is sometimes caused by dizziness, nausea, stomach upset and other drugs***.

    Family members or the elderly should take careful notes and communicate with the doctor in time to discuss whether other medications can be used instead, or what can be done to alleviate the discomfort.

    Clause. 3. Change the taste of the drug or the way of taking it. Some medicines taste unpalatable, and some pills may be difficult to swallow. In this case, you can consult your doctor about ways to improve the taste of the drug and make it easier to take without affecting how the drug works.

    Clause. Fourth, find out the real reason why the elderly are afraid of taking medicine.
