"Relocated Page" in the past week, right after Weil published his book? Maybe they had a senior moment

But Yes, thank you! That is the same Beers list, with all the latest updates on opioids too.
Not an easy chart to use, but Weil also suggested people should use their pharmacist more. They are trained to Review drugs for interactions, can look for cheaper alternatives, or maybe non-drug options. Something GPs should do but often don't. He had case studies of someone who ends up with five drugs by time they are 65 and don't know what they are for, if they are doing any good, or even know the side effects, if there are better options, etc. Example was a woman on thyroid meds for decades, add some hormones, then a sleep aid during menopause, then a NSAID for arthritis, a statin just because 65, etc.
Make an appointment with a pharmacist to review everything together.
