A new prescription warning for blood pressure, statin and iron drugs has been issued. Seniors are facing heightened anxiety and confusion about their medication regimens after the alert cautions that common combinations can trigger serious side effects, prompting many patients to question the safety of treatments they have taken for years and to consider consulting doctors about possible changes.
