Medications, often taken without much thought, pose significant risks despite their widespread use and this is why medication-related events rank as the fourth leading cause of death, surpassing diabetes, AIDS, and even automobile accidents. What's more tragic is that many of these incidents are entirely preventable. In my talk, I reveal three simple yet crucial guidelines to shield yourself and your loved ones from harm while maximizing the benefits of medication: advocacy, communication, and education. By equipping yourself with these skills, you can navigate medication safety effectively, transforming it from a routine task into a life-saving skill for everyone.
