LINCOLN, Neb. (RFD NEWS) — As winter conditions continue across much of the country, drug safety is taking on added importance for rural families, especially as weather, travel challenges, and seasonal illnesses complicate daily routines.
Dr. Jeffrey Gold, President of the University of Nebraska, joined us on Friday’s edition of Rural Health Matters to discuss what drug safety means and why it is especially critical during the winter months.
In his interview with RFD NEWS, Dr. Gold explained the importance of using medications properly, safely storing prescriptions, and being mindful of interactions—particularly when cold, flu, and other seasonal health concerns are more common.
He also highlighted how winter weather can make drug safety more challenging, from delayed access to pharmacies and healthcare providers to the risks of improper storage at extreme temperatures.
Dr. Gold also shared important reminders for viewers on staying informed and proactive about their health during the winter season.
