Lexi-Comp's Geriatric Dosage Handbook: Including Clinical Recommendations and Monitoring Guidelines

The Geriatric Dosage Handbook is an ideal drug information resource for all medical professionals managing geriatric patients. Many physiologic changes occur with aging, some of which affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications. For many drugs, exact dosing guidelines for geriatric patients have not been established and most references do not specifically address the use of medications in the elderly. This handbook provides specific considerations when using drug therapy in older adults, compiled from the current literature and clinical experience.
