Geriatric pharmacology

Ensuring safe and effective medications toward better health


Medication is in most cases an essential part of the treatment plans. Often people don’t suffer from just one condition and medication for each can get confusing, especially in the elderly, where mental faculties like memory might decline in addition to physical abilities. This is why is important to consult a geriatric pharmacologist, a doctor who specializes in the medication management of older adults. They ensure that the various medications taken do not have harmful interactions with each other or side effects and provide extensive education and awareness to the patients and their families.
