How can we prevent the elderly from being cheated?

The elderly have become the target of fraudulent drug dealers, which may be caused by factors such as poor general health, high medical demand, strong concern and anxiety about health problems. Fake drug dealers often use the pursuit and trust of the elderly for health to promote fake drugs or false treatments in order to seek ill-gotten gains.

In order to prevent the elderly from being cheated, the following measures can be taken:

1. Establish health records of the elderly, including medical history and medication, so as to facilitate doctors' diagnosis and treatment and medication guidance.

2. Family members should pay attention to the physical condition and medication of the elderly, communicate with doctors in time, and avoid blindly buying medicines.

3. Improve the ability of the elderly to identify counterfeit drugs, educate the elderly not to believe in false treatment methods and advertisements, and at the same time improve their trust in medical institutions.

4. Avoid buying medicines at will, go to regular medical institutions to buy medicines, and try to avoid buying medicines through the Internet or other channels.

5. Drugs frequently used by the elderly should be purchased and used under the guidance of a doctor, and should not be replaced or stopped without authorization.

In short, protecting the health of the elderly requires the attention and participation of family members and all sectors of society. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen supervision, severely crack down on fraudulent acts of counterfeit drug dealers, and safeguard the health rights and interests of the elderly.
