Q:

What does the thyroid gland do?

A:

Your thyroid gland is in your neck. It makes a hormone (called thyroid hormone) which is involved with many of the systems in your body. Thyroid hormone is linked to the breakdown of fat, carbohydrates and protein in your body, as well as the development of all cells in your body.

Q:

How do medications affect elderly people differently?

A:

As you age, certain systems in your body start slowing down and changing (think liver, kidneys, etc.). Due to this, an elderly person's body would actually process a medication differently than a younger adult. This can lead to different needs in the dosages and timing of drugs, so it is important to follow your doctor's guidelines for your medications.
