Recent Campaign
Master Your Medicines Campaign
The Irish Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association (IPHA) and the Irish Pharmacy Union (IPU) in association with Age Action Ireland launched a 'Master Your Medicines' campaign in September 2008. This campaign aimed to help the elderly manage their medicines correctly. Understanding how medicines work and taking medicines properly can have a dramatic effect on older people’s lives and well-being, helping them stay healthy and live independently in the community for longer. Being knowledgeable about their medicines can keep older people out of hospital as their illness or condition is managed properly and less likely to deteriorate. Below is the 'Master Your Medicines' Booklet and a Medicines Reminder Chart.
