Seniors optimally should perform preventive examinations at least once a year. People over 80, due to their age, are included in the group of increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, so the lipidogram should be performed at a maximum of every 2 years. It is worth checking the glucose level once a year. The above preventive examinations may be referred by a primary care doctor. In this case, no referral or visit to a specialist is needed. According to the current medical literature, there should be no interactions between the preparations mentioned by you that are harmful to health or the effects of medicines. Please note that the more medications a patient takes, the greater the risk of adverse interactions between them. Already taking two drugs at the same time creates a risk of undesirable interactions at the level of 13-14 percent. If a patient takes 8 to 10 medications at the same time, it is almost certain that there will be interactions between them and there will be interactions that negatively affect the patient's health. This problem applies especially to the elderly, treated for several diseases at the same time. If the patient does not observe symptoms in himself that may indicate a deterioration in health, then there is no cause for concern.
