Over the past 3 years, we have provided a consumer perspective on the development of medication information and resources for older people. The current resources focus on: Eczema, gout, antidepressants. Future areas of focus include: menopause, osteoporosis and secondary stroke prevention.
We have created a web page on our COTA Australia website with helpful resources including:
Quality Use of Medicines resource and information Hub.
Antidepressant Medicines – Frequently Asked Questions.
There is also a video series - My Journey with Antidepressants
Hear older adults share their experiences with antidepressants. They talk about what to expect, what changed for them and how they managed their depression and/or anxiety.
The webpage will expand with resources as they come to hand.
