In the United States those over the age of 85 use a large amount of medical resources including medications. Sequelae from medication usage are common in the elderly and may result in hospitalizations and/or death. This Pharmacy lecture will provide you with the necessary tools to carefully monitor your patients medications and provide optimal pharmacotherapy. We will explore drug/drug and drug/disease scenarios. We will create a plan that will minimize the number of meds one needs to take and maximize the drug's side effect profile to our advantage. We will understand the importance of knowing the BEERS list. Upon completion of these pharmacy lectures you will feel more comfortable with medication management in older adults.
