REC Education Series: The Dangers of Polypharmacy and How to Manage Your Medicines at Home

You’re Invited!

Fox Chase Cancer Center’s Lippincott Resource & Education Center (REC) invites you to attend upcoming virtual free education sessions.

Presented by: Sherry Kurian, MSN, CRNP, AGPCNP-BC and Kinjal Patel, PharmD, BCOP

Polypharmacy is the use of more than one medicine taken each day. It is important for you to understand your medicines. Talking with your healthcare providers about them can help to prevent the use of:

• the wrong medicines
• too much of the same type of medicines
• medicines that cause reactions if you take them together

Fox Chase Cancer Center’s Lippincott Resource & Education Center (REC) invites you to attend upcoming virtual free education sessions. These virtual sessions will discuss cancer prevention, screening, and treatment options. Participants will also learn ways to help themselves and family members make the best choices to improve their health and wellness. There will be opportunities to submit your questions prior to the virtual sessions or participate in a live Q&A.

These online education sessions are hosted by the Office of Community Outreach: https://www.facebook.com/foxchasecommunityoutreach
