Medications that put you at Risk

Every year Medicare reviews drugs that may have negative side-effects and are particularly risky for adults over the age of sixty. This year Medicare has published a list of medications that will not be covered on the Inter Valley 2012 drug formulary.

If you are taking any of the medications listed at right, we encourage you to discuss alternative medications with your doctor. Please call Inter Valley’s Pharmacy Department for assistance at 800-523-3142 or for hearing impaired, TTY/TDD 800-505-7150.
