When families disagree about medication safety for elderly parents

My elderly father is on twelve medications from four different doctors and my siblings and I keep finding conflicting information about interactions when we research them online. We're all trying to advocate for him but we're getting different advice and starting to argue about what's safe, and none of us really knows who to trust or how to coordinate his care properly.
