Overview Many elderly adults take multiple medications for a wide range of illnesses and symptoms. With the increasing aged population, drug misuse and abuse are increasing in these patients. Central nervous system depressants, opioids and stimulants are potential drugs for abuse in patients. This presentation will discuss drug abuse and misuse and complications related to these conditionsin the rationalization of pharmacotherapy in geriatric cases, primarily due to their preventable potential.
Objectives
- Describe the physiologic, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic factors which affect drug use in the elderly.
- Describe risk factors and identify drugs commonly associated with adverse drug events in the elderly.
- Recognize potentially inappropriate drug use and recommend alternative therapy where appropriate.
- Discuss principles of optimal prescribing for older patients.
