AGS Beers Criteria for Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults

The AGS Beers Criteria is a list created by experts to help healthcare providers identify medications that might not be safe or suitable for older adults. As people age, they often process drugs differently and may be more prone to side effects or interactions. This list highlights medicines that should be used with caution, avoided, or substituted with safer options in seniors, aiming to improve their safety, health outcomes, and quality of life by guiding better prescribing practices.
