Geriatric Pharmacotherapy

Geriatric pharmacotherapy is the study and practice of using medications safely and effectively for older adults. As people age, their bodies process drugs differently, making them more susceptible to side effects and interactions. Geriatric pharmacotherapy focuses on tailoring medications to individual needs, considering age-related changes, existing health conditions, and potential drug interactions. The goal is to improve health outcomes, enhance quality of life, and minimize risks, ensuring that older adults receive safe and appropriate medication management.
