Women's Health USA 2007: Medication Use

I chose medication usage during women throughout their lifetime for my quality tool. I found it very interesting to know that most women suffer from respiratory problems and are prescribed medication during their young years and decrease with age. I owuld think that the older you get the more respirator problems you would have. I was also very shock to learn that women between ages 45-64 years suffer from antidepression and are prescribed the most medication during this time period. In regards to children under 15 years of age, they are prescribed the most drugs for respirator problems. However, in adults in general most drugs are prescribed to patients who suffer from cardiovascular/renal sympotms and just pain relief drugs in general.
