So, What Can You Do?

If you’re taking any of these medications and experiencing memory problems, don’t panic — and don’t stop taking your medications without consulting your doctor. These drugs often serve important purposes.

✅ Keep a list of everything you take — including over-the-counter drugs
✅ Ask a pharmacist if your meds could interact or affect cognition
✅ Stay mentally and physically active to protect brain health

Being aware is the first step. If something feels off, don’t brush it off. The solution might be as simple as reviewing your medications.

Your brain will thank you.
