Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 90-year-old man who is in reasonably good health. I try to follow best practices in terms of my diet, exercise and lifestyle. I take seven medications daily that control my blood pressure and cholesterol very well. My medications include 5 mg of warfarin daily due to a stroke from 20 years ago.
