"A 'brown bag checkup' is the single best thing that patients can do to avoid medication mistakes and cut down on unnecessary medications," says Douglas Paauw, M.D., professor of medicine at the University of Washington in Seattle. "But I would estimate that only about 10 percent of people actually do it."

The checkup involves putting all of your medications and over-the-counter products in a brown paper bag and bringing them into your doctor's office. The bag should include any over-the-counter or prescription drugs, herbs, vitamins, dietary supplements, and topical treatments such as ointments and creams. "This kind of checkup is a good idea for anyone who takes medication, but particularly for older people who are the most likely to be taking several medications," Paauw says. The average 75-year-old has three chronic conditions and uses five prescription drugs, according to a report from the Merck Institute of Aging & Health.
