What can seniors do to prevent being scammed by fake medications?

The state needs to target the crooks, especially those who cheat against the elderly to give a severe crackdown, perhaps so as to reduce the number of things against the elderly to cheat. Elderly people become the target of fraudulent drug traffickers mainly because: they generally have a weak body, many diseases, the need for long-term medication characteristics, making them more vulnerable to fraudulent drug traffickers and temptation. In addition, the elderly have a relatively low acceptance of new things and new technologies, and may also lack the correct knowledge of new medicines and new medical equipment, which makes them susceptible to being exploited by fraudsters.

In order to prevent the elderly in their own families from being cheated, the following measures are recommended:

1. Educate the elderly to be more vigilant: tell them not to trust the sales promotion of strangers and not to buy unknown medicines and medical equipment at will, and especially not to buy medicines and use medical equipment on their own without a doctor's guidance.

2. Guiding the elderly to choose regular medical institutions: advising the elderly to choose regular medical institutions when they need treatment for their illnesses and to follow the doctor's instructions on how to use medication, rather than buying so-called "miracle medicines" or "miracle cures".

3. Supervise the use of medicines for the elderly: Try to provide the elderly with detailed information about the medicines and how to use them, and help the elderly to use the medicines correctly to prevent overdose or incorrect use.

4. Enhance science education for the elderly: publicize the hazards of fake medicines and equipment to the elderly through various means, including TV, Internet, and leaflets, to raise their awareness of prevention.

In short, we should do our best to protect the rights and interests of the elderly, improve the vigilance and cognitive ability of the elderly, and reduce the elderly to become the target of fraudsters. At the same time, society should also strengthen the fight against counterfeit medicines and medical equipment to protect the health and safety of the elderly and the whole society. This issue requires the local public security, industry and commerce, taxation, and other departments to intervene together, because the elderly have a **** the same point is afraid of death, so it is very easy to get on the scammers when.
