About this listen
With polypharmacy on the rise, prescribing for older adults can be tricky, leading to increased risks of side effects and drug interactions. In today's episode, we'll explore how you can reduce medication risks in older adults with the Beers Criteria, a tool that helps you safely navigate these challenges and enhance your clinical practice for patients over 65.
In this episode, you’ll learn which medications, from antidepressants to NSAIDs, should raise red flags and how the Beers Criteria can guide your decisions. We’ll also talk about practical steps for de-prescribing and collaborating with other healthcare professionals to ensure your patients get the safest, most effective treatments.
