: He also comments that the pro
' posed location of NorthPark would
stimulate “natural opportunities"
in the way of employment and
growth for the area. Klein is quoted
as saying, “It will open up a new
area and, I think, change the way
people perceive of that part of
town.”
That remains to be seen. At this
point, residents of the communities
surrounding the site in question
want to meet with representatives of
l Trammell Crow before the Planning

; mendation If residents’ questions
; and concerns can be answered sa
tisfactorily, and if the proposal la
approved, perhaps Klein will be
right and the kind of development
that has taken place elsewhere in the
Charlotte area will also transform
the north and northwest sections of
town.

Prescription Medications Keep
Healthier,
Prescription medications and
over-the-counter drugs (OTC) help
keep older adults healthier and more
independent. But these preparations
may be dangerous when used im
properly or when mixed with other
medications.
There are now powerful new non
prescription drugs available as a
result of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) reclassifica
tion of prescription medications for
over-the-counter sales. While most
people assume over-the-counter
products are milder or less effec
tive than prescription medications,
they may be just as potent. Some
examples are cold remedies, anti
histamines, the pain reliever ibu
profen, hydrocortisone for allergic
attuBMaBSS&rfr-”
These and other drugs may have
dangerous interactions when com
bined with blood pressure medica
tions and antidepressants. Some
also react negatively when mixed
with alcohol, aspirin, blood thinners
and diuretics. Many drug labels
warn against using the product if a
person has glaucoma, diabetes, high
blood pressure, or thyroid disease. It
is always wise to read the labels or
consult your physician before using
any medications or over-the-counter
drugs.
For example, aspirin, the most
commonly used drug by those over
age of 65, is considered harmless,
yet aspirin can lower the level of
vitamin C in the platelets, which
may tabselhe blood to clot. There
fore, some people may need vitamin
C supplements, but the combination
of vitamin C and aspirin can irri
tate the intestine and result in
bleeding and a loss of iron.
In addition, many drugs have a
potential for food and nutrition side
effects, such as decreased appetite,
nausea, an unpleasant sense of
taste, dry mouth, and vomiting
Drugs and medications can interact
with food and nutrients to reduce
absorption and alter their distribu
tion in the body.
Foods also contain natural and
added chemicals that can react to
make certain drugs virtually use
less. Normally, food and beverages
interfere with the absorption of
drugs and medications. For exam
ple, calcium in milk, cheese, and
yogurt reduces absorption of talacy
cline. On the other hand, taking
certain iron supplements along with
citrus fruits or juices which con
tain ascorbic add increases ab
sorption of the iron.
A number of other points should be
kept ip mind. It is unwise to take
drug products when drinking soft
drinks or acidic fruit or vegetable
juices. Foods high in vitamin K,
such as liver and leafy green vege
tables may hinder the effect of
anti-coagulants; and there is a
dangerous food-drug interaction be
tween medications often prescribed
for depression and high hlood pres
sure and foods such as aged cheese,
Chianti wine, and chicken livers.'
The elderly are vulnerable be
cause they use more medications
than any other age group. The
average healthy older citizen takes
at least ll different prescription
medicines in a year, and while
comprising only 11 percent of the
population, the elderly use 25 per
cent of all prescription medicines.
The Division of Aging is aware of
the serious problems caused by
over-medication, combining medi
cations and drugs, and the need for
balancing nutrition and exercise.
The Division recently produced a
brochure called “You and Your
Medications, Do’s and Don’ts.”
