What to do with old pills?

What are the chances that a 55+ yr old lady would count her presciption pills?

  • my sister is planning to take a generic ativan from our neighbor. i keep telling her no bcuz our neighbor (who is the 55+ woman) might count her pills and find out ones missing. but since i cant stop her, what do u think the chances r that shell get caught?

  • Answer:

    well, i work in a pharmacy, and to be honest, it could go either way. Some older adults would think they misplaced it, or accidently dropped a few and go to the pharmacy to get more. On the otherhand, they may not notice and think they took more than they should. either way, goodluck

older people tend to count their pills more than younger people because sometimes they forget and tend to take too much so they count them to make sure that didn't happen

ha ha i highly doubt that the lady would sit there and count her pills. But if she does maybe its the best if your sister gest caught. the only way i could think of yoru sister getting caught though is at the end of the ladies perscription when she notces she doesnt have enough to take that day. but then again old ladies drop pills all the time and she may think that she lost one. but talk to your sister now. taking anyones pills could not only hurt your sister but could result in a problem with the neighbor and not let her have enough pills for her needs. So tell your sister to think about it.

Stealing meds from a neighbour? That's sinking pretty low. Some people are OCD about stuff like that. It's hard to say if she would count it or not... regardless, I would try to convince your sister not to do it.

She will get caught. Because even if the lady doesn't count her pills, she will know when she runs out of her medicine sooner than she is supposed too. Tell your sister she can go to jail for that type of thing anyway.

unless she has alzheimers's - she will know that some have been taken right away. i think all people would know if they had a set date they had to renew their prescription - they know when they are going to run out.

Old ladies love to count pills. So your "sister" may or may not get caught but she will get addicted and end up on the street selling her body for crack

It depends on the family and neighbors.
