As You Age Ask Guard Educate

In May 2004, SAMHSA and the FDA launched a campaign to inform older adults about the dangers of combining medicines with alcohol and medication misuse. As part of that campaign, this public service announcement was created to encourage people to learn more about their medications, how to take medications, and how to guard against potential problems. It also points toward the brochure “As You Age…A Guide to Aging, Medicines, and Alcohol” for more information.
