As aging people often suffer from several chronic diseases and are being treated with multiple medications concurrently, unwanted drug interactions occur more frequently. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhereas recent approaches have recommended to remove particular drugs from the medication regimen to avoid adverse effects, \u003ci\u003e Drug\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eTherapy for the Elderly\u003c\/i\u003e underlines both indispensable and dispensable elements of drug treatment, providing the practitioner with: \u003cbr\u003e- Background information on the elderly population regarding their needs for particular drugs (with an eye to frailty, co-morbidity patterns, and special sensitivities regarding drug metabolism and excretion)\u003cbr\u003e- Practical advice about drug treatment surveillance parameters in the elderly\u003cbr\u003e- In-depth discussion of drugs in relation to the elderly with specific diagnoses\u003cbr\u003e- Integration of multimorbidity\/polypharmacy situations into prioritization schemes\u003cbr\u003e- A plan for how to deal with the complexity of polypharmacy situations in a five-minute consultation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn original classification of drugs is proposed by the editor which relates the power of effects, prognostic data, and tolerability to a prioritization scoring system. This approach is the first to not only provide a negative listing, but also integrates positive data into an overall assessment for drugs fit for the aged. Therefore, \u003ci\u003eDrug Therapy for the Elderly\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a timely reference for a wide array of physicians.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277383819415,"sku":"9783709109113","price":8079.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783709109113.webp?v=1769288215","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/drug-therapy-for-the-elderly-9783709109113","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
