How do I stop my sister from interfering with my decisions as my Mom's MPOA?

I am MPOA of my mother. My sister confiscated my mothers osteoporosis medicine and her Alzheimer's medicine so I couldn't give them to Mom. I got them back, but now my sister is calling Mom and telling her that when I give the medications to her, put the medications in a drawer instead of taking it.
I heard her ask Mom if I gave her a little whit pill on Sunday morning and did she put it in the drawer. The phone was on speaker phone. I didn't say anything at the time because I didn't want to upset Mom. What can I do to stop this from happening? Can I get a restraining order?

Agree with Pam, also, involve her doctor in discussions about why and how this is happening. If your mom has dementia and is being unduly influenced, I think you can/should call aps. I feel for your situation, hugs!

You can most certainly get a restraining order, and you should. Report the theft of medication to the local police department and start the process.
