Drugs in the Elderly: Guide to Polypharmacy (I farmaci nell’anziano) (Italian Version)
SEED, Feb 2011, Pages: 103
Polypharmacy is highly prevalent in the elderly due to an increased number of comorbidities that accompany aging. Polypharmacy is often essential for the management of geriatric patients, but it is potentially associated with risks for side effects, medication interactions, and decreased adherence.
A thorough medication assessment for each patient is essential when determining pharmacotherapeutic options in the elderly.
This book analyses all the different aspects of polypharmacy in the elderly, from pharmacokinetics implications to dosage management, providing some case reports to better explain problems encountered and to suggest strategies. The aim is to help physicians in evaluating risk and benefits of polypharmacy.
